Modeling OEE: Reality is Rarely Well-Behaved

If you recall earlier this summer, Dr. Lars Maaseidvaag wrote a blog that outlined the basic components of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metric and how to calculate it. He recently added another blog to this series, discussing OEE and its extension to Overall Process Effectiveness (OPE).

This piece provides a more comprehensive view of process efficiency by considering factors beyond equipment in manufacturing settings. Check out how Lars uses the example of a coffee shop to demonstrate how various losses in availability, performance, and quality can affect the overall output of a process.
