An Integration of OEE and OLE Based on Total Productive Maintenance to Reduce System Losses in Semi-automated Production
摘要
In semi-automated production systems, maintaining consistent productivity is challenging due to uncertainties arising from machinery and human labour losses. This research integrates Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Overall Labour Effectiveness (OLE) to provide a comprehensive guideline for improving productivity. By applying the principles of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), the study aims to understand and reduce system losses. Key metrics from OEE and OLE are analysed to identify losses, with particular focus on the interactions between machine and manpower losses. The approach is validated using a prototype production line, demonstrating methods to effectively collect and analyse data on various types of losses. This proposed procedures offers actionable insights for addressing problems and implementing targeted improvement activities to enhance overall productivity.
