Manipulating data to look good is easy. Making sustainable changes that reflect reality is hard. Only one of these helps. This manipulation may not always be intentional. Sometimes, while calculating metrics like OEE, manufacturers tend to set unrealistic target production rates within OEE calculations. The first step to calculating OEE is usually figuring out the ideal run rate of a piece of equipment. But this number cannot be arrived at through assumptions but should be based in reality. When you end up with an inflated OEE, you cannot identify the gaps in the production process, defeating the entire purpose of tracking metrics. If you’re looking to make sustainable changes, this is what you should do instead: Use historical data to set targets and figure out actual performance over the past months Account for factors like operator skill, material differences, and equipment fluctuations Having considered variability, arrive at realistic benchmarks and be flexible with them Regularly monitor and update target rates based on the ground reality Eugene Paradizov’s snippet below is from our episode on a deep dive into OEE.
