CIP on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
This CIP was launched to maximise machine effectiveness by conducting OEE assessment to pinpoint key losses, root causes and then find ways to improve productivity through procedure changes and advanced monitoring and control technologies. Key personnel were trained on shop floor OEE model and five key steps of OEE methodology. 20 companies involving 95 personnel participated in this programme have reported productivity improvements: tooling down time reduction 30–60%, machine idle time reduction 30-70%, rework and defects reduction 15–40%, machine breakdown reduction 15–40% and throughput improvement of 10–15%.
