OPTIMIZING & ANALYZING OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH TPM APPROACH: A CASE STUDY IN CEMENT INDUSTRY

Abstract

Continuous availability of reliable sophisticated equipment with precision is need of the competitive market.
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is important measurement tool for equipment effectiveness. An attempt has been
done to measure and analyze existing overall equipment effectiveness of machinery producing pozolona portland cement.
Which is used in construction work. By measuring the performance of existing system, reference values are obtained for
design of experiments. By using Minitab 16 software an experimentation has been done on three factors and two level of
OEE. Main effect plots and regression analysis provide information about which is most influencing factor and classic
relationship between availability, performance rate and quality rate. Significance of each factor is indicted by P-values
in the given analysis. Finally counter plots and response surface method results in to optimized value of three factors of
OEE. Simulated values of the output will be useful information to industry.
