Usi ng Overall Equipment Effectiven ess ind i- cator to measure the level of planned produ c- tion time usage of sewing machine

The chapter presents the results of utilization of the OEE indicator to measure the l evel of operating time usage of sewing machine production of air bags . T he idea of an OEE indictor, which is a key metrics in Total Productive Maintenance ( TPM ) program , is presented . T he goals and benefits of its calculation are included. T he research object – KL 110 air bags sewing machine - what for the machine is used. T he calculation o f TPM indicators for the analysed machine is presented . The c alculation of TPM indicators was undertaken over a period of six months of the machine 's working time. It was i ndicated that the overall effectiveness of the machine is at a level of 65,7%, the time los s- es were 34,3%. M ost of the losses w ere related to low performance . Only A vailability indicator reach es a word class level , if other indicators such as P erformance , Q uality and OEE should be improved , their value should be incr eased . Activities to improve the e ffectiveness of the machine utiliza tion w ere determined.
