In the today’s era of intense global competition, manufacturing industries are determined to improve and optimize their productivity in order to remain competitive. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of a machine plays an important role where performance and quality of the product are of key importance to the company. The OEE intended at minimizing the breakdowns, increasing performance and quality rate and thus improving the effectiveness of the machine. The availability rate of the machine, performance rate of the machine and quality rate of the products are considered as parameters while maximizing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of a manufacturing system. It is found that the lagging in performance rate contributes more than availability rate and quality rate that deficiency of effectiveness in the system. The objective of the work is to enhance the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) at a manufacturing company through the implementation of total productive maintenance (TPM).
