The main motive for a manufacturing plant will be to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the equipment which results in an overall increase in productivity of the plant.
Six Big Losses in lean manufacturing is a concept to categorize productivity loss from an equipment’s perspective. It directly aligns with OEE and gives a more detailed take on the 3 OEE losses- Availability, Performance, Quality.
OEE factors Availability, Performance, and Quality map with the Six Big Losses pertaining to Lean Manufacturing, providing a more concrete and manageable framework to categorize your losses.
The traditional Six Big Losses include Equipment Failure, Setup and Adjustments, Idling and Minor Stops, Reduced Speed, Process Defects, and Reduced Yield
To make it simpler, precise, and more consistent to be aligned with OEE losses, we can call them Unplanned Stops, Planned Stops, Small Stops, Slow Cycles, Production Rejects, and Startup Rejects respectively.
So, if the manufacturing plants take action to address these losses, it will directly translate into the reduction of OEE losses. This will ensure a stark improvement in your OEE score which will result in a more efficient manufacturing process.
