Next we will provide an overview of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Action Center and the associated key performance indicators (KPIs).<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OEE Action Center Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing operational effectiveness is at the heart of manufacturing management, and especially for asset intensive industries, no metrics are more important than OEE. Because of its importance, QAD provides multiple ways to analyze and view OEE results, all accessible from the Action Centers and dashboards menu. This blog focuses on site level analysis, while future blogs will drill down into production lines, work centers and departments, among other selections. The site level OEE Action Center includes 10 measurements, all system-calculated using the primary components of OEE, including availability, quality performance, performance and unplanned downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KPIs for Site Level Analysis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Action Centers provide analytics to help managers and users to monitor metrics and KPIs. KPI highlights for the OEE Action Center include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Site OEE Summary and Site OEE by Period<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calculated as (performance x availability x quality performance), the OEE summary offers an excellent way for users to track trends in operations and to ensure that the company is operating within its defined parameters. Since many of these factors are \u201ctrade-offs\u201d with one another, the summary metric shows whether the company is staying in balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Site Availability Summary and Site Availability by Period<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Availability is the ratio of actual operating time divided by planned production time. Planned production time is calculated by totaling the planned time for the schedule. This ratio shows whether the site is operating productively without unplanned downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Site Quality Performance Summary and Site Quality Performance by Period<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This metric shows whether the site is operating within its quality parameter. The calculation is to divide good pieces produced by total pieces produced.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Site Performance Summary and Site Performance by Period<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This metric tells whether or not the site is running efficiently. The calculation is to divide ideal run time by actual run time. A value over 100 percent shows that the company is operating extremely efficiently, but it more often indicates that the standard times are too loose. Many companies run effectively between 75 and 95 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Site Total Unplanned Downtime and Site Total Unplanned Downtime by Period<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This metric is the total of all reported time in the \u201cDown\u201d category. It shows whether or not the site\u2019s preventive maintenance program is adequate enough to support required operations. Some unplanned downtime may be unavoidable, but monitoring trends can be valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The summary metrics are shown as three-month bar graphs, and users can change the time frame. The period starts with the current date and goes back three months. The period metrics are shown as line graphs for 13 prior weeks plus the current week. Users can see the actual data by hovering over a point in the line and can drill down to the underlying detailed transaction browses.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7853&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Importance of OEE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OEE provides a view into the primary factors that make up an effective operation, and one of the best things about this action center is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/cloud-erp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">QAD Adaptive ERP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> calculates these metrics automatically from the data users input as a matter of day-to-day activities.
