TPM: Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Poster (PDF)

The goal of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is to increase equipment effectiveness so that each piece of equipment can be operated to its full potential and maintained at that level. To maximize equipment effectiveness, you need a measurement tool that can help you understand your equipment problems so that you can take steps to eliminate them. The key to this understanding is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).

OEE is a crucial measure in TPM that tells you how well your equipment is running. It is an important indicator of the health of the equipment. OEE links three factors in one percentage: the time the machine is actually running, the quantity of products the machine is turning out, and the quantity of good output.

The OEE poster is a useful visual tool that helps to create understanding on how it is measured and streamline data collection and reporting.

The OEE poster comes in two themes: color and monochrome. Formatted in PDF and in editable PPTX, the poster can be easily printed on an A3-sized paper from an office copier machine and displayed at operator workstations, TPM Activity Boards, meeting rooms, maintenance workshop, or distributed together with your workshop handouts.

The OEE poster complements the "TPM" and "OEE'' PPT training presentation materials. It serves as a takeaway and summary of your TPM or OEE presentation.

Based on the JIPM* standard, the OEE poster provides a clear illustration of the linkage between the OEE factors and the six big equipment losses. It also defines the formula for each of the three key factors:

OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality, where:

•  Availability = Operating Time / Planned Production Time
•  Performance = (Ideal Cycle Time x Total Pieces) / Operating Time
•  Quality = Good Pieces / Total Pieces

In addition to the OEE tree diagram, improvement goals for the six big losses are listed to facilitate target setting and action planning by TPM teams.

*Note: The Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance (JIPM) is a nonprofit research, consulting, and educational organization that helps companies increase organizational efficiency and profitability through improved maintenance of manufacturing equipment, processes, and facilities. The JIPM is the sponsoring organization for the TPM Excellence Award, awarded annually to recognize excellence in company-wide maintenance systems. Based in Japan, JIPM is the innovator of methodologies that have been implemented around the world.
