Without shop-floor monitoring systems, manufacturers cannot effectively employ OEE metrics and lean manufacturing, said Dave Edstrom, president and chairman, MTConnect Institute (McLean, VA). ![]() Monitoring the Shop Floor Okuma technicians demonstrate the company’s LOC 650 CNC machine with the THINC-OSP control, which support the latest MTConnect protocol. With OEE, manufacturers get the latest information on machine availability against planned uptimes, performance against target values, and quality data for comparing good versus scrapped parts. OEE metrics quantify factors including machine availability and operating time, part production performance, and quality. ![]() When properly deployed, shop-floor data collection and monitoring systems can help factory-floor managers leverage key data metrics including overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and total effective equipment performance (TEEP) that measure machine uptime and pinpoint bottlenecks or other problems in order to improve machining performance. ![]() Process improvement encompasses a wide range of tools, techniques and strategies. With improved factory data collection, manufacturers can get a more accurate view of manufacturing processes
