<p>Det finns stora förluster i sågverk som inte framkommer av deras traditionella driftsuppföljnings¬processer. Strategiskt viktigt för organisationen är frågan vad företaget behöver göra för att bli effektivt. I detta arbete diskuteras mätmetoder av effektivitet med avseende på underhåll och hur effektiviteten kan mätas med hjälp av att beräkna den totala utrustningseffektiviteten (OEE). Arbetet beskriver också olika underhållsstrategier och processen med att införa en sådan policy på sågverk. Under en period av sex dagar beräknas OEE på fem sågverk. Resultatet var att OEE värdet i snitt var runt 50 procent, som är ganska lågt. Genom att applicera en kostnadseffektiv underhållspolicy kan företaget öka sitt OEE värde och få en mer effektiv process. Detta kan göras genom att en policyn minskar de övergripande kostnaderna relaterade till de sex stora förlusterna. Diskussion förs också kring avvikelserna/stoppen och hur orsakerna till dessa kan härledas genom analyser med t.ex. Ishikawadiagram. Arbetet lyfter fram att ett systematiskt förbättringsarbete skulle ge nästan ett fördubblat kapacitetsutnyttjande för sågverken utan några större investeringar. I arbetet beskrivs hur sågverken kan bli framgångsrikare med detta genom att välja en kostnadseffektiv underhållspolicy.</p> / <p>There are several big losses in sawmills that are not addressed by the traditional operation feedback systems. It is strategic significant for organizations to address the question what need to be done in order to bee more effective. This work discusses methods of measurement the effectiveness with respect to maintenance and how the effectiveness can be measured by assessing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The work also emphasizes on maintenance strategies and the process of implementing such a policy in sawing mills. During a period of six days assessments of OEE were made in five different sawmills. The results were that OEE in general were about 50 percent, which is considered low. By implementing a cost-effective maintenance policy, it will lead to increase the value of OEE for the process. Using a policy that will decrease the overall costs related to the six big looses could do these. Discussions the production stoppages and how these can be analyzed by using different tools, such as Ishikawa diagram are addressed. The work highlights that a systematic improvement work would increase appreciably the capacity utilized without any large investments. This study also describes how sawmills can be successful when increasing their effectiveness by selecting a cost-effective maintenance policy for their process.</p>

Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil. / Atualmente, a indústria farmacêutica encontra-se inserida em um cenário de acirrada competição, enfrenta custos crescentes de pesquisa e desenvolvimento e está submetida a maiores exigências regulatórias. Soma-se a este quadro, reduzida eficiência operacional. Neste contexto, torna-se importante que as empresas farmacêuticas busquem mensurar e melhorar o desempenho de suas operações e equipamentos. Mundialmente e em diversos segmentos industriais, o indicador de eficácia global de equipamentos (Overall Equipment Effectiveness, OEE) é adotado como métrica do desempenho de máquinas e linhas produtivas. Através de estudo de caso, aplicado à produção de Farmanguinhos, verificou-se que o emprego da OEE permite identificar e quantificar as perdas que afetam o funcionamento dos recursos produtivos, servindo de base para o desenvolvimento de ações de melhoria contínua. Na implantação do indicador é fundamental assegurar que os operadores responsáveis pela coleta dos dados assimilem os objetivos e conceitos da metodologia e sejam capacitados a classificar corretamente as perdas. A análise dos resultados de OEE evidenciou que os processos de troca de máquina (set ups) representaram os desperdícios de maior impacto sobre a disponibilidade dos equipamentos em estudo. Foi verificado que princípios da troca rápida de ferramentas (Single Minute Exchange of Dies , SMED) podem ser utilizados para redução do tempo destas operações. / Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is inserted in a scenario of fierce competition, facing rising costs of research and development and is subjected to increased regulatory requirements. Reduced operational efficiency is added to this picture. In this context, it is important that pharmaceutical companies strive to measure and improve the performance of its operations and equipments. Worldwide and in several industrial sectors, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) indicator is adopted as the performance metric of machines and production lines. Through case study, applied to Farmanguinhos production, it was verified that the use of OEE enables identifying and quantifying the losses that affect productive resources operation, providing the basis for the development of continuous improvement actions. In the indicator’s implantation it is fundamental to assure that operators responsible for data collection assimilate the purposes and concepts of the methodology and are able to classify the losses correctly. The analysis of OEE results revealed that set up processes represented the waste of largest impact on the availability of the equipments under study. It was verified that principles of Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) can be used to reduce the time of these operations.

The thesis work was carried out at Pågens bakery in Gothenburg, the bakery produces both bread and pastry. The bakery has a total of eleven production lines with varying products and number of products per line. This project has been carried out at one of the production lines that produces several different kinds of bread, focusing on the three products that stands for the majority of the production. The thesis work consisted in collecting and analysing information from line 39 that effects the utilization rate (OEE%) negatively. The utilization rate of line 39 has an average OEE% of 61,9% compared with the target of an OEE% at 85%. The information and the analysis was collected through interviews, observations, work measurements, data compilation and value stream analysis. The aim of the project is to identify problem areas for line 39’s process that has negatively impacts on the OEE%, and if possible, find solutions based of relevant literature as well as to carry out a SMED-analysis of the packaging process. Based on the collected information about the current situation of the production on line 39 and the value stream mapping analysis, was four different problem areas identified. Absences of standardized work descriptions for de changeovers between different products which can lead to several types of waste. Large percentage of capacity losses that has no documented origination and must categorize as other utilization losses. Incorrect data in the spreadsheet when calculation theoretical capacity The operators of line 39 experience a great amount of stress during the changeovers between products. Based on the identified problem areas, different solution proposals were developed for the problem areas by using relevant literature to create a more efficient process and utilization rate. By using the Single Minute Exchange of Die method for the exchanges in the packaging process and by analyzing and comparing “rest” time for the dough in product exchanges in the bakery process. With help from literateur and the result from the Single Minute Exchange of Die, a standard for the exchanges could be developed for the packaging process, which can reduce the changeovers time by about 8,5 minuets from 23,5 to 15 minuets. This result has by itself an impact on OEE%, but has no actual effect on line 39’s OEE%, because of the variation of exchange times aren’t from the packaging process. They occur from processes that lies before in the material flow. Based on the analysis of “rest” times between different product types, a standard could be obtained when the next product type dough should start up to create a 30-minute production hatch which is currently standard. When introducing standardized working methods and inserting precise data into the spreadsheets, line 39's OEE% can be improved from 61.9% to 71.2%. Through the introduction of standardized working methods, operators perceived stresses can also be reduced by letting them know what is being expected of them during exchanges. A major problem area that remains is the uncategorized utilization losses that Pågen must continue the work by categorize and find the origin and then try to eliminate the problems. / Examensarbetet är utfört vid Pågens bageri i Göteborg, vid bageriet tillverkas både matbröd och kaffebröd. Bageriet har totalt elva produktionslinjer med varierande produkter och antalsorter per linje. Detta projektet är utfört vid en av de linjer som producerar flera olika sorters bröd, där fokus legat på de tre produkter som står för majoriteten av produktionen. Uppgiften bestod i att kartlägga och analysera linje 39 utifrån problemområden som påverkar utnyttjandegraden(OEE%) negativt.Linje 39 har idag en genomsnittlig OEE% på 61,9% jämfört med det uppsatta målet på 85%. Kartläggning och analys av nuläget skedde genom intervjuer, observationer, arbetsmätningar, sammanställning av data och värdeflödesanalys. Målet med projektet är att identifiera problemområden för linje 39 ́s process som påverkar OEE% negativt och om möjligt komma med lösningsförslag utifrån relevant litteratur, samt att standardisera omställningar vid paketeringen genom SMED-analys. Utifrån nulägesbeskrivningen samt värdeflödesanalysen kunde följande problemområden identifieras: Avsaknad av standardiserade arbetsmetoder vid omställningar vilket kan leda till flera typer av slöserier. Stor procentuell del av kapacitetsförluster som hör till övriga utnyttjandeförluster vilken inte går att härleda till specifikorsak eller problemområde. Felaktigdata vid beräkning av teoretisk kapacitet Upplevd stress hos operatörer i samband med omställningar Utifrån de identifierade problemområden togs lösningsförslag fram för problemområdena med hjälp av relevant litteratur för att skapa en effektivare process och utnyttjandegrad. Detta skedde genom utförande av Single Minute Exchange of Dieför omställningar i paketeringen samt analys av liggtider vid sortbyten i degavsnittet Genom användandet av litteratur och Single Minute Exchange of Die kunde en standard för omställningar mellan produktsorter tas fram för paketeringen, vilken kan minska omställningstiden med upp till8,5minuterfrån 23,5 till 15 minuter. Detta resultat ger idagingen förändring av OEE% då de varierande ställtiderna härstammar från degavsnittet tidigare i flödet.Utifrån analysen av liggtider mellan olika produktsorter kunde en standard tas fram om när degen för nästa produktsort bör påbörjas för att skapa en produktionslucka på 30 min som idag är standard. Vid införande avstandardiserade arbetsmetoderoch införande av korrekta data i kalkylbladen kan linje39’s OEE% förbättras från 61,9% till 71,2%. Genom införande av standardiserade arbetsmetoder kan även operatörernas upplevda stress minskas genom att de vet vad som förväntasav dem under omställningarna. Ett stort problemområde som kvarstår är posten för övriga utnyttjandeförlustersom Pågen behöver arbeta vidare med att kartläggadessuppkomst för att kunna eliminera förlusterna.

Efficient production scheduling is important for both maximizing productivity and minimizing costs in manufacturing environments. This thesis presents an approach to optimizing production scheduling using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The primary goal is to develop a generalized solution that can be modified and adapted to the varying needs that different production- or manufacturing lines may have. This research has two main research questions that address the problem at hand. (1) Can Genetic Algorithms be used to optimize a sequence of products in a production line? and (2) How effectively can Genetic Algorithms optimize the sequencing of production tasks in diverse production lines to minimize total order processing times? Through experimentation with various GA configurations the results achieved suggested that GAs were appropriate for sequence optimization. The study demonstrates that GAs can optimize a production line up to almost 42% , which significantly reduced the total processing time. The thesis also highlights the importance of the representation of data, which is essential for the optimization of the sequence.

Indicadores de eficiência global de produção tipicamente são derivados do OEE (Overall Effective Equipment), proposto por Nakajima (1988) para a indústria de produção intermitente e, por vezes, são utilizados em indústrias de produção contínua sem uma análise prévia de suas limitações. Doze indicadores identificados na literatura foram analisados e comparados com características do processo de produção da indústria petroquímica, obtidos a partir da revisão teórica e de entrevistas com profissionais e pesquisadores dessa indústria. Dessa análise identificou-se que o indicador OAE (Overall Asset Efficiency) apresenta maior aderência em relação à classificação de perdas e às características do processo de manufatura da indústria petroquímica. Os resultados de eficiência global de produção obtidos através da utilização do OAE foram confrontados com os provenientes do OEE e do TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Productivity), com base em dados reais de uma empresa localizada no Pólo Petroquímico do Rio Grande do Sul. Os resultados obtidos através do cálculo de eficiência utilizando o indicador selecionado OAE, se mostraram mais descritivos da realidade da empresa quando comparados com aqueles atualmente utilizados. Outras práticas que geram interferências sobre o cálculo do OEE também foram identificadas nas entrevistas. Ainda, foi identificada a necessidade de uma discussão mais ampla no sentido de melhor definir os conceitos de capacidade e nível de atividade na indústria petroquímica e sua estimação operacional para fins de análise de eficiência, bem como, a incorporação de termos relativos à eficiência de insumos e custeio na análise de eficiência operacional global dessa indústria. / Due to singular characteristics present in the production of continuous flow process industry, especially petrochemical, efficiency measurement require different features of intermittently producing industry, such as how to quantify the final products and the cause of the losses that are considered in the calculation of production efficiency. Production efficiency indicators are typically derived from the OEE (Overall Equipment Effective) proposed by Nakajima (1988) for intermittent production industry, they are sometimes used in continuous manufacturing industries without a prior analysis of their limitations. Twelve indicators identified in the literature were analyzed and compared with features of the petrochemical industry production process, obtained from theoretical review and interviews with professionals and researchers in this industry. This analysis identified that the indicator OAE (Overall Asset Efficiency) has a better production losses structure and fits the characteristics of petrochemical manufacturing process. The results of overall production efficiency obtained using the OAE were compared with results from OEE and TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Productivity), based on manufacturing data from a company located in Rio Grande do Sul petrochemical complex. The results obtained from the efficiency calculation utilizing the selected indicator OAE, are more descriptive of the company situation when compared to those currently used. Other practices that causes interference on the calculation of OEE were also identified in the interviews. It was also identified the necessity for a broader discussion in order to better define the concepts of capacity and activity level in the petrochemical industry and also the operational way define them in order to make analysis of efficiency as well as the incorporation of terms concerning the efficiency of inputs and costing the analysis of overall operational efficiency of this industry.

No entanto, a literatura apresenta uma escassez de métodos que possibilitem a avaliação de desempenho das operações nos sistemas produtivos, considerando todos os seus componentes. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor uma análise de eficiência em um sistema produtivo utilizando o OEE e a DEA integradamente. Para atingir o objetivo proposto é realizado um estudo de caso em uma empresa fabricante de ônibus. Foi conduzida uma análise comparativa com os resultados obtidos por meio da utilização da DEA/OEE confrontados com os resultados do OEE medido em uma operação da empresa estudada. A eficiência medida com o uso da DEA/OEE apresenta diferenças em relação aos resultados do OEE. A análise das causas dessas diferenças apontou que as ações tomadas para melhorar o indicador OEE reduziram a eficiência da operação analisada. O estudo aponta que as tomadas de decisão focadas na melhoria do OEE, em si, podem conduzir a um incremento do consumo de recursos em uma operação. Esse aumento de recursos não necessariamente eleva os níveis de produção, ocasionando, assim, a redução da eficiência técnica. / The levels of efficiency with which firms turn inputs into products can lead organizations to increase their competitive capacity. Nevertheless, the literature presents a shortage of methods that allow the evaluation of the performance of the operations in the productive systems, considering all its components. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose an analysis of efficiency in a productive system using the OEE and the DEA integrated. To achieve the proposed goal a case study is carried out at a bus manufacturer. A comparative analysis was conducted with the results obtained through the use of DEA/OEE and the results of OEE measured in an operation of the company studied. The efficiency measured with the use of DEA/OEE presents differences in relation to OEE results. The analysis of the causes of these differences pointed out that the actions taken to improve the OEE indicator reduced the efficiency of the analyzed operation. The study points out that decision-making focused on improving OEE itself may lead to an increase in resource consumption in an operation. This increase in resources does not necessarily raise production levels, thus reducing technical efficiency.

The management of equipment based on Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) has been widely applied with great success in several industries such as military, commodity production, civil airliners, nuclear power plant and the petroleum industry since the reprint of RCM-II written by John Moubray in 1997.The application of RCM not only increases the reliability of the equipment and the assets of a company but also promotes the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), which includes the excellent ok yield to order and the better productivity of the equipment. As a methodology, RCM differs from the traditional equipment maintenance in the aspect of emphasis of maintaining the ¡§function¡¨ of the equipment instead of the equipment itself. Therefore, the need of equipment maintenance results from the speed and the severity of function loss, which determines the strategy and interval of equipment maintenance. This is the major difference between RCM and time based maintenance (TBM). This article discusses the critical success factors that drive the application of RCM in steel plant. The result reveals that the application of RCM could promote the reliability of equipment, cut the cost of maintenance and increase compatibility of the steel plant. In order to facilitates the implementation of RCM in the steel mill, the basic skills of the management includes the construction of vision¡Bconsensus¡Bthe set up of regulation and the cultivation of innovating culture. so as to build an effective managing teamwork features in strong execution. As for the equipment management both the standardization and the strict deviation of equipment function(6£m) are vital to sustain the excellent equipment reliability. The Integration of Maintenance Management System(IMMS) consists of three components, CMMS(Computerized Maintenance Management System) and RTMS(Real Time Monitoring System) link by RCM. RCM acts as a bridge for the information flow of maintenance management in the IMMS and promotes the effectiveness of maintenance management.

This thesis deals with the optimisation of the selected manufacturing process. The aim is to analyse the effectiveness of the selected welding and assembly lines. Another objective is to do a detailed analysis for the line with the lowest efficiency in terms of cycle time and the Overall Equipment Effectiveness and calculate the lost production time due to availability, performance and defects. The third objective is to identify possible measures leading to higher utilization of manufacturing line and to propose a possible implementation. The theoretical part is based on the literature examining the term standardization, the norms of labour intensity, the cycle time, the Total Productive Maintenance and the calculation of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness. In the practical part the profile of Car manufacturing is being presented, the analysis of secondary data to calculate the Overall Equipment Effectiveness is being done and the appropriate manufacturing line for the innovative plan is being selected. Furthermore, the analysis of secondary data regarding the effectiveness of the using time of the manufacturing line is being done, the calculation of the Overall Equipment Effectiveness and the collection of primary data is being carried out. Subsequently, the problematic spots of the manufacturing line are being found and the possible measures leading to higher efficiency of manufacturing line are being proposed.

Det här examensarbetet har utförts på Scania CV AB:s motorbearbetningsavdelning i Södertälje. I dagsläget pågår en omställning av tillverkningsprocessen på avdelningen där två nya tillverkningslinor, en för cylinderblock och en för cylinderhuvud, är under uppbyggnad. Linorna kommer styras med hjälp av ett Manufacturing Execution System. Ett Manufacturing Execution System har i uppgift att samla in data och information från tillverkningsprocessen, som sedan kan presenteras i ett gränssnitt. Vilken information som kommer finnas tillgänglig att presentera i systemet styrs utifrån en intern kravspecifikation som ska spegla International Society of Automation:s standard, även känd som ISA-95. Den kravspecifikation som finns för systemet är framtagen av IT-avdelningen i samråd med avdelningschefer. För närvarande är det osäkert om kravspecifikationen som finns på systemet stämmer överens med vad medarbetarna behöver för att kunna arbeta på ett effektivt sätt. Det här arbetet kartlägger behovet hos medarbetarna och jämför det med den befintliga kravspecifikationen. Genom intervjuer och enkäter har den befintliga kravspecifikationen för systemet jämförts med vad medarbetarna anser vara önskvärda funktioner i systemet. Resultatet av den första omgången intervjuer och enkätutskick var att kravspecifikationen och behovet hos medarbetarna stämmer väl överens. Det mynnade ut i att ytterligare en enkät skickades ut där medarbetarna istället skulle rangordna den information som kommer finnas tillgänglig i systemet utefter en prioriteringsskala i tre nivåer. Resultatet från den enkäten gav en bild av vilken information medarbetarna tycker är viktigast för att kunna arbeta på ett effektivt sätt. / This bachelor thesis has been done at Scania CV AB’s department for engine manufacturing in Södertälje. The manufacturing process at the department is currently under development, where two new lines are being added, one for cylinder head and one for cylinder blocks. These two new manufacturing lines are going to be controlled with the help of a Manufacturing Execution System. The Manufacturing Execution Systems task is to collect data and information from the manufacturing process, which later can be presented in an interface. There is a specification at Scania that presents what information will be available in the system. That specification is in line with what the International Society of Automation has specified in ISA-95. The specification for the system was set by the IT-department in consultation with department managers. There is currently an uncertainty if the specification meets the requirement that the workers has, to be able to work efficiently with the system. This thesis will identify the requirement that the workers has on the system, and compare it with the current specification. What the workers deems is necessary information has been identified and mapped through interviews and a survey. The result of these interviews and the survey made it clear that the specification was well in line with the requirement from the workers. This information led to the decision to send out another survey that asked the workers to prioritize how important the information in the system is, in three different priority levels. This resulted in an overview of what the workers consider is the most important information in the system.
