Course Content
The course covers the concept of equipment performance analysis, productivity and efficiency metrics, and the components of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) — availability, performance, and quality rate. It includes analysis of downtime, breakdowns, and defect causes; calculation of MTBF, MTTR, and failure rates; maintenance strategies (reactive, preventive, predictive); data collection methods; interpretation of performance indicators; and development of improvement recommendations.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to enable students to evaluate machine and equipment performance in production systems, analyze efficiency losses, and plan maintenance and improvement decisions based on data. Students learn to measure, interpret, and improve system effectiveness using performance indicators such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
