OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
OEE is the gold-standard metric for measuring manufacturing productivity. It combines availability, performance, and quality into a single percentage.
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures how effectively manufacturing equipment is used. It's calculated as: OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality.
Availability: % of planned production time that equipment is actually running. Performance: % of ideal running speed achieved. Quality: % of output that meets specifications first time.
Textile industry OEE benchmarks: World-class is 85%+. Most textile mills run at 55-70% OEE, meaning they're losing 30-45% of capacity to breakdowns, slow cycles, and defects. Top-quartile mills achieve 80%+.
Improving OEE from 65% to 85% typically adds 30%+ capacity without buying new machines. TextileERP tracks OEE in real-time across looms, dyeing machines, and finishing lines, with automatic root-cause analysis for availability, performance, and quality losses.
