Visual representation of OEE and production data
OEE is a crucial metric in Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for improving production processes. An OEE-dashboard is a production reporting tool that provides a visual representation of OEE data and, with it, insights for improvement. This can take various forms, such as graphs, charts, diagrams, and overviews. OEE-dashboards provide real-time insight into OEE and other production data, so that the status of the production company's shop floor is visible to everyone, at all times and simultaneously. An OEE-dashboard enables end users to track the progress of shifts, identify areas with lower machine performance, and monitor the condition of machines.

Advantages of an OEE-Dashboard
Real-time credible production and OEE dataMeasuring OEE and displaying it via an OEE-dashboard is a simple but powerful tool for gaining insight into what is actually happening and how this contributes to continuous improvement. It helps operators map their performance and promotes the desired behavior: eliminating losses. An OEE-dashboard can help operators and managers better understand their performance in real time.
More efficient processes
OEE helps managers determine which aspects of the production process need improvement. By working with OEE data from OEE-dashboards in practice, managers will:
Gain basic knowledge about the machine's processes.
Be able to investigate where losses occur and their consequences.
Provide the right feedback to operators and other employees involved in improving the machine.
Keep senior management informed about the condition of the machine and the results of improvements.
Production team involvement
The success of improvement is largely determined by employee motivation. Ultimately, committed operators help to limit the loss of effectiveness.
By measuring OEE data on a daily basis, the operator will:
Gain a better understanding of the machine from a technical and process perspective.
Pay more attention to losses.
Develop a greater sense of ownership over the machine.
Less machine downtime
Much machine downtime is the result of daily operations. This downtime reduces availability, a critical component of OEE data. A real-time OEE-dashboard helps manufacturers respond to idle time, whether it is caused by inventory not being replenished on time or by waiting for machine changeovers or maintenance, for example. OEE enables managers to target and reduce such availability losses.
Maximum machine capacity
Measuring OEE provides insight into machine inefficiency, such as machine speeds that are too low and/or too many short stops. By comparing the actual output with the theoretical output, specific performance losses can be identified. This enables companies to implement targeted improvements, increasing the efficiency of production processes and minimizing unused capacity.
Less waste
OEE helps identify quality losses in production to reduce waste and improve quality. Waste can result from poor product quality, operator performance, and availability losses due to machine breakdowns, delays in changeovers to new products, or poor production scheduling. OEE-dashboard data provides insight into all these areas, enabling strategies to tackle waste on multiple fronts in a step-by-step manner.

Why should you visualize OEE and production data?
The use of OEE-dashboards is essential for reducing production losses, delays, and human errors, and ensuring that machines are used optimally to achieve production targets. To record OEE, a production dashboard such as MyPlantFloor records data and losses directly from the machine control system. This ensures that production data is real-time, accurate, and standardized regardless of the machine brand or model.

Anticipate instead of react
The OEE-software behind an OEE-dashboard automatically calculates OEE data and displays it in real time, providing complete visibility on the shop floor for all employees and management in production. Real-time display of production data is crucial to the success of improvement initiatives. It ensures that the Maintenance, Logistics, and Quality departments are continuously aware of their tasks and schedules. This leads to improved collaboration, increased engagement, and a significant reduction in unnecessary waiting times for raw materials, materials, assistance with line changes, line releases, and tool replacement.
OEE-Dashboard: More than just analyzing OEE data
MyPlantFloor is much more than just an OEE-dashboard. The server automatically processes, combines, and collects all order, master, machine, and energy data from any ERP system. Machine operators can easily add reasons and comments to downtime, speed, and quality losses at any time. The integrated paperless order administration provides real-time OEE data as well as information such as the status of current production orders, order details such as Bill of Materials, packaging instructions, product photos, operator notes, shift reports from the previous shift, and more. This reduces administrative work and makes production more flexible.
Broaden and deepen your understanding of OEE losses and waste
Understanding OEE losses and waste via the OEE-dashboard is one thing, but how interesting would it be to compare this with other production dashboards? Consider, for example, measuring the built-in energy consumption per machine. By comparing this type of production data at a glance with the OEE data and production figures, management can make very different decisions.
Integration with MyPlantFloor-CMMS (Maintenance management) also offers advantages, as it provides an accurate picture of the relationship between the costs of preventive maintenance and the returns from a better-performing installation.

Production dashboards and reporting
An OEE-dashboard not only displays the OEE of a production floor in real time, but can also show trends, patterns, and opportunities for improvement. This gives manufacturers the opportunity to improve production efficiency as part of their continuous improvement initiatives.
Users can zoom in on various production dashboards for a detailed view, and zoom out to high-level overviews of machine groups or the entire factory. This can be useful for identifying areas of opportunity, such as underutilized or unused machines, excessive downtime, bottlenecks in production processes, high maintenance costs, or unnecessary energy consumption.
Frequently asked questions about OEE-Dashboards and OEE
Frequently asked questions
Let's take a closer look at some frequently asked questions.
What is OEE and why is it important for manufacturing companies?
OEE stands for “Overall Equipment Effectiveness,” which refers to the actual utilization rate of machines. It indicates how effectively a company or department uses its production lines. OEE is a crucial metric in Lean Manufacturing and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for improving production processes. OEE is expressed as a percentage from 0 to 100%.
How can you calculate OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)?
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is calculated as follows:
OEE = (Good products x Ideal cycle time) / Planned production time.
Availability = Actual production time / Planned production time.
Performance = (Ideal cycle time x Total number) / Actual production time.
Quality = Good products / Total number.
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality.
How does OEE define the effectiveness of production machines?
OEE is defined as the time during which a production machine is actually productive. It integrates three metrics—availability, performance, and quality—to generate a score that reflects a machine's actual productive time.
