Abstract: Overall Equipment Effectiveness is one of the most common and popular performance evaluation methods in the manufacturing industries. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is critical when availability, performance, and quality are important to the organization. The OEE is intended to reduce breakdowns, increase availability, and thus improve the machine's effectiveness. The availability rate of the machine, performance rate of the machine, and quality rate of the parts are considered the main parameters for maximizing a manufacturing system's Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). It has been discovered that a low availability rate contributes more than a performance rate and quality rate. The aim of this work was to improve Overall Equipment effectiveness (OEE) at a manufacturing company by implementing proper capacity analysis strategies. The operator on the shop floor should then be involved in each maintenance operation because he is closest to the machine and knows the abnormalities. The Breakdown list and Production Status also gives the company for 2 month. Calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness based on data. The Overall Equipment Effectiveness is mainly depends upon three factors availability, performance and quality of parts. But this research work major contributing factor for less OEE in machine availability. Moreover, the first identified possible causes for machine downtime and data analysis. After that implement capacity assessment and bring machine in to basic optimum condition for use. We are also getting improved OEE after implementing integrated capacity plan. By improving the machine availability we are getting improvement in OEE from 30% to 38.18%.
