An analysis of machine effectiveness on the production line by using overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) method based on total productive maintenance (TPM) principle (a study case of Ball Tea machine in PT Kabepe Chakra)

Abstract

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is an approach in Preventive Maintenance which can be used by a company to evaluate the effectiveness of the company’s facility. This evaluation is conducted to improve the facility value of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and to eliminate the main loss known as The Six Big Losses. TPM is a maintenance approach focusing on the equipment which is suitable to be implemented on the manufacture company and production industries. This research is conducted on the Ball Tea machine in PT Kabepe Chakra which is a production machine to dry tea. The calculation of OEE value is conducted based on the data in January-December 2014, the calculation results show that the OEE value is 59.30897433% and it is still under the World Class standard. The calculation of Six Big Losses shows that the percentage of the most dominant of machine losses is on the Set-Up and Adjustment Loss which is 42.6768183%. The research results can be used to show that the effectiveness of Tea Ball machine still has to be improved by focusing on the most dominant loss elimination.
