Essembi helps teams measure and improve OEE scores. How? By having all the tools necessary to power your continuous improvement cycle.
Let's walk through the key data structures that help power this.
OEE Metrics
Essembi dynamically captures OEE scores based on three different inputs:
- Downtime
- Line Speed
- Quality Issues
The OEE scores that are captured behind the scenes can be reported in various dimensions on views in Essembi. For example. view OEE scores by part number, production line, shift and more.
Downtime
Downtime records track both planned and unplanned production stoppages in Essembi. There are many ways to input downtime in Essembi including using production sensors to automatically log downtime incidents. The start and end time can dynamically populate the unit impact of the downtime using the target production run rate.
Line Speed
Production speed tracking compares ideal cycle times against actual performance. The system records runtime efficiency, monitors pace rates, and calculates speed losses. The data highlights when machines or lines are running below optimal speeds, allowing targeted adjustments to maximize throughput.
Quality Issues
Quality issues records track defects, scrap rates, and first-pass yield information. Configure quality checks within the system to ensure consistent product standards. Quality data integrates with other metrics to provide a complete picture of production efficiency and product consistency.
Incidents
Incidents represent specific production problems that require resolution. The Incidents table serves as the central hub for problem management within the system, connecting identified downtime, line speed, or quality issues with corrective actions to address the root cause. Each incident includes categorization options, priority settings, and fields for detailed problem descriptions. The system calculates financial impacts of incidents.
Corrective Actions
Corrective actions allow teams to group incidents into projects to address the root cause of the issue. Monitor corrective action progress through defined status updates and milestone tracking. Track improvement ROI for each correct action project.
Work Orders
Work orders (also known as jobs) can be imported from an ERP or APS (Advanced Planning Solution). They are used in Essembi to track OEE scores and prompt the production team to complete certain actions.
Routings for Work Orders
Businesses using Essembi can choose to have a single routing per work order or multiple routing steps associated with a single work order. Routings define the specific steps required to complete a work order. Configure detailed process instructions, time requirements, quality checkpoints, and documentation needs for each operation. Standardized routings sequence can help with advanced reporting in Essembi.
Master Data
The are a number of different master data records that are used to power Essembi. These can imported from ERP or other platforms as needed.
Formulas
The formula record defines the part that will be produced on a work order. In Essembi we like to capture the standard cost of the formulation to help drive incident cost reports.
Routings
Routings are linked to formulas and define the flow of operations that a work order needs to go through in the production process.
Facilities
The facilities records organize production resources within the physical plant structure. This is used to segment reports and dashboards for OEE metrics and more within Essembi.
Lines
Production lines represent the operational units where work is performed. Set the times where the production line is open to help drive capacity reporting within Essembi.
Shift
Define work periods, labor assignments, and production schedules within the Shift settings.
OEE Targets
Define realistic performance goals for OEE metrics. Set the availability, performance, and quality goals along with the threshold for displaying the red / yellow / green indicators on OEE dashboards.
Once set, OEE targets can be set on formulas to help teams track different OEE targets across different parts, categories and more.
