Overall Equipment Effectiveness

Overall equipment effectiveness or OEE as it is known can be defined as a widely standard to measure manufacturing productivity. In other words, it can also be defined as the exact percentage of time which is productive. If the score of overall equipment effectiveness is 100%, it is an indication that only good parts are being manufactured with no stop time. Hence OEE of 100% means 100% quality, performance & also availability.

Question

1. a. Mention and explain the differences between single-factor productivity and multi-factor productivity.

b. What is an example of when it is best to use each method, please explain with the calculations as well.

Scenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers. She was evaluating the quotes based on price, target quality levels, and delivery lead time promises. As she was working, her manager, Dave Cox, entered her office. He asked how everything was progressing and if she needed any help. She mentioned she was reviewing quotations from suppliers for a tooling contract. Dave asked who the interested suppliers were and if she had made a decision. Sharon indicated that one supplier, Apex, appeared to fit exactly the requirements Visionex had specified in the proposal. Dave told her to keep up the good work. Later that day Dave again visited Sharons office. He stated that he had done some research on the suppliers and felt that another supplier, Micron, appeared to have the best track record with Visionex. He pointed out that Sharons first choice was a new supplier to Visionex and there was some risk involved with that choice. Dave indicated that it would please him greatly if she selected Micron for the contract. The next day Sharon was having lunch with another buyer, Mark Smith. She mentioned the conversation with Dave and said she honestly felt that Apex was the best choice. When Mark asked Sharon who Dave preferred, she answered, Micron. At that point Mark rolled his eyes and shook his head. Sharon asked what the body language was all about. Mark replied, Look, I know youre new but you should know this. I heard last week that Daves brother-in-law is a new part owner of Micron. I was wondering how soon it would be before he started steering business to that company. He is not the straightest character. Sharon was shocked. After a few moments, she announced that her original choice was still the best selection. At that point Mark reminded Sharon that she was replacing a terminated buyer who did not go along with one of Daves previous preferred suppliers. Ethical decisions that affect a buyers ethical perspective usually involve the organizational environment, cultural environment, personal environment, and industry environment. Analyze this scenario using these four variables.

"We are already measuring total factor productivity. Measuring partial productivities would be of no value." Do you agree? A. Yes, total factor productivity is the goal of the measurement.

No, total factor productivity and partial productivity measures work best together because the strengths of one offset weaknesses in the other. D. No, you must always calculate partial productivity measures for the total factor productivity to have any meaning.
