In the competitive landscape of manufacturing, operational efficiency is non-negotiable. Businesses need real-time insights, actionable metrics, and seamless reporting to maintain their competitive edge. Tracking Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most powerful strategies to measure, analyze, and enhance production performance.

However, many businesses struggle to move from fragmented data systems to an integrated, real-time OEE monitoring environment.

Enter Power BI, Microsoft’s leading business intelligence tool that can revolutionize OEE tracking, offering interactive dashboards, predictive analytics, and a clear path to process optimization. In this blog, we explore how tracking OEE with Power BI empowers manufacturing businesses, accelerates decision-making, and drives profitability.

What is Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness is the yardstick for measuring manufacturing productivity. It means a complete way to measure manufacturing equipment in terms of its working performance during planned production time.

OEE measures good pieces produced by an organization in an interval divided by how many could have been produced during the same time frame under the assumption of perfect running of all machines and processes. This simple percentage sums up everything that matters, essentially the three critical factors as follows.

Availability

Availability measures the operating time against the planned production time while taking into account all planned and unplanned downtimes.

• Availability = Operating Real Time ÷ Planned Production Time

Availability losses would include equipment breakdowns, material shortages, changeovers and maintenance activities which do not allow the equipment to run during scheduled production hours.
