Find the hours your machines are losing.
This module records running hours, stoppages with reasons, output and rejection for every machine and shift. From these it shows OEE, which is how much of the available time actually produced good output, and the main causes of lost production. It matters because many factories have more capacity than they think, hidden in small stops.

Inside the module.
Shift-wise machine log
Record running time, idle time, output and rejection per machine each shift.
Stoppage reasons
Tag each stop: breakdown, no material, no operator, changeover, power or quality.
OEE calculation
See availability, performance and quality for each machine, and the combined OEE.
Top loss causes
Rank reasons by hours lost, so the biggest one gets fixed first.
Expected versus actual
Compare output with what the cycle time or speed says it should be.
Trend by machine
Follow each machine's OEE over weeks to see if actions are working.

Questions, answered.
Does it need sensors on the machines?
No. It works on entries made by supervisors each shift. That is enough to find the main causes of lost time.
What is a good OEE figure?
It depends on your process and product mix, so comparing with other factories misleads. The useful comparison is your own machine against its past weeks, and one machine against a similar one.
How is this different from plant maintenance?
Maintenance looks after the machine: schedules, breakdowns and spares. OEE looks at all lost time, including no material, changeovers and slow running. Breakdown is only one part of it.
Which Kreon products include machine downtime and OEE tracking?
Steel Plant ERP, Plastic Manufacturing ERP, Auto Components ERP, Packaging and Corrugation ERP. It can also be added to a custom system.
