OEE evaluates multiple manufacturing areas and production issues and provides useful data to help manufacturers maximize production efficiency. Specific process information can be gained through an OEE analysis based on three predetermined factors: machine availability, performance and quality.

The OEE Consulting service offered by Bosch uses OEE as the key performance indicator to define the status of existing machines, provide a basic structure to track underlying issues and root causes, and minimize downtime. Bosch specialists work closely with manufacturers throughout this process and offer the expertise to improve production efficiency and the technical know-how to suggest improvements to the manufacturer’s systems, ensuring output is maximized.
