OEE and manufacturing efficiency
Manufacturing efficiency analysis with IwoScan
IwoScan collects data from workstations and equipment so OEE, availability, performance, quality and downtime causes can be evaluated objectively. This helps reveal not only the overall result, but also the true sources of loss.
Which indicators can be monitored?
- Availability: how long the equipment or workstation was actually able to produce.
- Performance: whether operations are performed at the planned speed and where slowdowns appear.
- Quality: how many good units were produced and how much time and material were lost because of defects.
- Downtime: when it occurs, how long it lasts and which causes it is related to.
How does this help a manager?
Factual data makes it possible to identify which problems affect the result the most and to evaluate objectively whether process changes improved the outcome. The system helps model production situations by changing selected parameters, such as downtime duration or production rate.
- Production standards become clearer.
- Process bottlenecks are easier to find.
- Historical data makes it possible to evaluate the impact of changes.
- Downtime is linked with its cause, employee, workstation and product.
Decisions based on facts, not guesses
OEE and other efficiency indicators are valuable only when primary data is accurate. IwoScan records process events at the workstation, so the analysis is based on the real production flow.
