OEE with LeticoLMS

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) or one of the related terms, TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Productivity), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) or LM (Lean Manufacturing), is now the key discipline in many successful factories and manufacturing plants. Industrial Automation provides the ability to measure performance and Line Monitoring software can then support the production staff as they work on improving performance. LeticoLMS, the Letico Line Management System, is a best-of-breed way of applying this approach.

LeticoLMS is a Web-based application that evaluates the performance of production lines and is appropriate in a wide variety of industries. Real-time identification of machinery that is not achieving desirable standard is critical to efficient line operation. By analyzing the performance of production assets, managers and operators can improve line efficiencies and resolve process problems.

The LeticoLMS software collects relevant data from individual machine controllers and produces performance ratings based on the concepts of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The components of OEE - Availability, Yield (Quality) and Production Rate - are evaluated, thus permitting the following key monitoring functions:

Equipment Availability tracking
Shrinkage tracking
Production Rate (performance) tracking.
Throughput tracking
Production Line Effectiveness

To access the information, the LeticoLMS users' PC's from the factory shop floor to the manager's office require only a web browser (no other software or licenses are needed). LeticoLMS is fully flexible and allows modifications to setup and configuration data such as shift calendars and result limits.
