We held a survey at our recent WorX meetings, and got some questions regarding the use of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Operational Excellence (OPEX). These ranged from how to use, to, how to connect to financials, use for planning and capacity calculations etc.

To address these head on, we will be running an interactive Huddle with Ton Aerdts, GBR’s expert on everything OPEX & CI.

Ton has built up a broad experience in Continuous Improvement (be it Lean , TPM, 6 Sigma and Change management) over the last 30+ years and used the OEE measure in all machine related situations.

During this Huddle, Ton will provide a brief overview of OEE, and the rest of the session will be driven by the questions that ‘YOU’ have and can send in beforehand.

• How to cheat with OEE and the consequences for definitions
• How to link to costs?
• How to use for planning purposes?
• Driver of lost and waste analysis and as such driver of CI
