Lean Manufacturing, OEE and TPM
The shop-floor half of manufacturing excellence, built in the order a line is actually improved: value and the eight wastes, gemba walks and bottlenecks, lead time and takt time, value stream mapping, flow and cells, pull and kanban sizing, standard work and 5S. Then the two numbers a plant manager is judged on. OEE calculated from a real shift, the six big losses behind it, quick changeover, and total productive maintenance through its eight pillars and twelve implementation steps.
- Calculate availability, performance, quality and OEE from one shift of real line data
- Split a shift of downtime across the six big losses and name the one costing most
- Draw a current-state value stream map with observed data boxes, then a future state you can reach
