Performance & Risk Management

What is OEE and how is it related to performance monitoring and risk management?

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is an essential standard for machinery manufacturers like Universal Pack. The real-time measurement and calculation of OEE is just one of the best practices we take into account.

OEE is a metric which underlines the percentage of manufacturing to be considered productive. This percentage is the product of three different metrics:

• Availability: this parameter highlights the availability of the running process of the machine during the production time scheduled;
• Performance: this parameter calculates the production speed, considering small stops and slow cycles;
• Quality: this parameter shows the percentage of good parts produced.

As a result, this metric is fundamental to guarantee the highest efficiency possible. At Universal Pack, we constantly work in this direction. The software and systems installed on your packaging machines allow you to constantly monitor and correct a series of values to streamline the production and reduce downtime. Furthermore, constant performance monitoring lets you better manage potential risks, which can affect your production in a negative way.
