Problem Solving and Enhancing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness in Pharmaceutical Industries
Abstract
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a method to
monitor and improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes.
OEE is broken down into three measuring metrics; availability,
performance, and quality. The aim of this research is to use
these metrics to benchmark the efficiency and effectiveness, and
categorize the key productivity losses that occur within a
pharmaceutical production plant. During the research, OEE is
measured by using different devices and monitored in packaging
department of the plant. After that, data were analysed to
propose different correction and improvement actions. Results
have shown many problems that cause deterioration in OEE,
such as using improper production parameters. By adopting
some corrective actions, an OEE enhancement has been obtained
and losses have been reduced.
