REAL-TIME OEE FOR INDUSTRY 4.0* (40 HOURS)

*This is a non-WSQ module.

Introduction

Maximising overall machine effectiveness is a key objective for resource owners. Despite operating 24/7, many machines remain underutilised, making it challenging for owners to identify the extent of this shortfall and the specific areas where it occurs.

In an Industry 4.0 environment, real-time data from machines can offer valuable insights into actual machine utilisation. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a crucial performance metric that helps reveal hidden capacity and enhance manufacturing productivity. OEE is measured based on three key factors: availability, performance, and quality. By analysing OEE losses—such as machine breakdowns, slowdowns, and scrap parts—manufacturers can optimise the performance of their existing equipment and improve overall productivity.

About the Real-time OEE Programme

This programme aims at providing participants with practical and systematic training in applying real-time OEE to achieve high machine productivity. It is designed specifically to meet local industry needs. The course is highly practical and intensive, and will be taught by expert trainers in the field with industrial experience. It provides up-to-date technology and latest knowledge on OEE. Case studies highlight the industrial applications will also be shared with the participants during the training sessions. Seventy per-cent (70%) of the course is conducted by on-site mentoring.

Who Should Attend

The programme is suitable for those who are currently employed or wish to be employed in the manufacturing related fields. A typical candidate profile could be:

Operation Managers
Production Engineers
Quality Control Managers/Engineers
Production Supervisors/Operators

Course Outline

The programme consists of 12 learning units in 2 stages.

STAGE 1: OEE Fundamentals Learning
(Learning Units 1 to 4)

Introduction to OEE Concept and Applications with Model Factory Demonstration
Introduction to OEE Fundamentals
OEE Metrics Computation using OEE Software
Technology for Quality, Availability and Performance Improvement

STAGE 2: Apply OEE Methodology for Productivity Improvement
(Learning Units 5 to 12)

Identify Critical Machine
OEE Data Collection for Brownfield and Greenfield
Industry 4.0 Machine Connectivity and Communication
Compute Baseline OEE Metrics
Analysis Root Cause of OEE Losses
What-if Analysis
Identify Improvement Areas
Generate Initiatives and Work Out Performance Improvement Plan
Project Conclusion & Presentation

Instructional Units (Learning Units) are sequenced-based on the levels of understanding of the fundamentals and skills. It means that ascending order of Learning Units to complete the programme should not be changed since each Learning Unit is the pre-requisite for the next Learning Unit.

Integration of Stages

Real industrial case will be conducted through Stage 2 after fundamental knowledge learning through Stage 1. The basic concept of OEE fundamental techniques learned from the Stage 1 will be applied to Stage 2 through on-site project with company’s real machines. Participants will gain and master the knowledge and skills pertaining to OEE by applying OEE technologies in a holistic / integrated manner.
