The biggest losses in manufacturing.
There are six main causes of inefficiency in manufacturing. These losses are crucial for identifying improvement potential and increasing productivity.
Breakdowns
Losses due to equipment failures, such as tool breakage or machine damage, leading to unplanned downtime.
Setup Times
Time lost due to setup, changeover or adjustment operations.
Microstops
Small, frequent pauses that typically last less than five minutes and do not require maintenance.
Reduced Speed
When a machine runs at a lower speed than its maximum possible or target speed.
Scrap & Rework
Losses due to defective products that need to be reworked or disposed of.
Startup Losses
Production losses that occur when starting up a machine or at the beginning of a shift.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Overall Equipment Effectiveness, or OEE, is a key metric for measuring productivity. It quantifies losses throughout production time.
- Planned Downtime – Breaks, maintenance or planned downtime.
- Availability Loss – Unplanned downtime or setup times.
- Performance Loss – Reduced speed or short stops.
- Quality Loss – Scrap or rework.
