Operations Feedback Systems (OFS)

OFS is the system that shows the efficiency of industry machines. It can present machine OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), AVA (Availability), PE (Performance) and Q (Quality). This is a critical part for the industry to advance to Industry 4.0.

The world-class OEE is 85% where AVA is 90%, PE is 95% and Q is 99%. Briefly, AVA is the available time of the machine; PE is how the machine runs; Q is the output vs input. According to OEE.com, most manufacturing companies, even today, have OEE scores closer to 60%. However, with a close look, more companies with OEE scores lower than 45% than companies with OEE scores higher than 85%.

I have been working with SBA for 9 months. I initially work with Scott N. to improve Q by reducing waste and saving the environment. Then, we put our focus on AVA and PE by optimise the machine setting. It's great fun to work together to improve OEE.
