OEE and downtime

OEE and downtime are two sides of the same question: how well do your machines really work? OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) combines the availability, performance and quality of a machine’s work. Here you will find how Scout MES calculates OEE and how it records and reports downtime.
