A certain plant runs a nine-hour shift. The workers are allowed 30 minutes lunch break and a 15- minutes break. There was a recorded downtime due to machine breakdown of 35 minutes during that shift. The design cycle time is 30 seconds. The plant produced 2030 units out of which 55 were defective. Calculate the Overall Equipment Effectiveness. Given a budget to improve the operation in this plant, which aspect or component of the operation would receive your highest priority?

Solution

the overall equipment effectiveness is 2030-55 = 1975 units.

the highest priority would be the break down time becuse workrs luch and break time would not result in effectiveness to decrease
