Overall Equipment Effectiveness, otherwise known as OEE for short, is all about continuously measuring availability, performance, and quality. The closer you can get to a 100% OEE score, the closer you are towards your goal of manufacturing high quality products as quickly as you can with little to no stop time to speak of. In an effort to continually improve and increase that OEE score, many businesses turn to manufacturing KPI dashboards to put actionable data at their fingertips.
