OEE: Overall Equipment Effectiveness
TPM is a data driven process to
improve the productivity of your equipment. So the question
remains, how do you measure equipment productivity?
OEE is that measurement system. But there are a lot of misconceptions about OEE. During this sixty minute webcast, we'll discuss the basics of OEE, show real life examples, discuss categories of losses, how to approach each loss and eliminate/minimize them.
Led by John Kravontka, President of Fuss & O'Neill Manufacturing Services, LLC, will lead us through a case study, calculate OEE percentage, categorize losses and develop an improvement plan.

Approaching Zero Equipment
Stoppages
Did you know that current equipment
condition in the U.S. leads to:
equipment productivity of less of 50%?
dollars wasted on maintenance related practices is greater than
$180 billion?
Learn how to avoid this at your
facility by:
measuring your equipment productivity and improving it by
sustainable amounts and
adding the goal to approach zero equipment stoppages to your
existing goals.
During this sixty minute webcast,
led by John Kravontka, President, Fuss & O'Neill Manufacturing
Services, LLC, we will:
present the four phases and hoe to get immediate and sustainable
results;
identify and eliminate the two main causes for 80% of equipment

recognize opportunities to develop maintenance excellence in your
facility; and
show the benefit of moving from calendar-based PM to
condition-based PM.

Maintenance Excellence
In the United States, we spend
approximately $180 billion every year in wasteful maintenance
related practices. Travel time, waiting at the parts crib,
looking for maintenance tools, temporary repairs and emergency
shipment of repair parts are just a few of these wasteful
practices.
During this sixty minute webcast, John Kravontka, President of Fuss & O'Neill Manufacturing Services, LLC, will focus on maintenance mapping, a tool that you can bring back to your facility to make an immediate impact (reduction) in your mean time to repair (MTTR). No company ever has enough maintenance resources. We will show you ways to maximize those resources. We will also discuss PM optimization techniques.
