Concept explainers

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

Lillian Fok is president of Lakefront Manufacturing, a producer of bicycle tires. Fok makes

1,000

tires per day with the following resources:

Labor:	400 hours per day @ $12.50 per hour
Raw Material:	21,000 pounds per day @ $1.00 per pound
Energy:	$5,000 per day
Capital:	$10,000 per day

a) Labor productivity per labor hour for these tires =

2.52.5

tires/labor hour (round your response to two decimal places).

b) Multifactor productivity for these tires =

0.02440.0244

tires/dollar (round your response to four decimal places).

c) The percent change in multifactor productivity if Fok can reduce the energy bill by

$1,000

per day without cutting production or changing any other inputs =

nothing%

(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
