Each Job takes about 4 minutes on the machine, 2 minutes of which is processing time and 2 minute is setup time (logging in, defining the job). About 16 Percent of the Jobs need to be reworked, in which case the setup time and the processing time have to be repeated. The remainder of the time, the equipment is idle. What is the OEE of the equipment? (Round your percentage answer to 1 decimal place.) What is the OEE of the equipment? 0.2 percentarrow_forward
