Link to Lean ??

Unless you can show the link to Lean, as opposed to six sigma, i propose to remove it from lean concepts. OEE is a key metric of enormous importance but is not a Lean specific concept. Success metrics can be attached to anything so it is very generic and not Lean. I feel that including it in teh category just weakens teh tight focus i have tried to maintain there.

Just trying to stay focussed and keep teh category as useful as possible. definitely not trying to diminish OEE Facius (talk) 23:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Are there any references for rolling up OEE to higher levels (e.g., department, plant, etc.)?

My first time posting anything on Wikipedia, so apologies in advance for all the newbie mistakes I am going to make!

As of today, the article on OEE mentions that "...these calculations are valid at the work center or part number level but become more complicated if rolling up to aggregate levels".

I have actually purchased the first two books referenced for "Further Reading" (Productivity Press and Koch), plus a third book by Koch. There is little to no information on how to calculate "rolled up" OEE.

Are there materials that could be referenced on this point?

Many thanks in advance! Lorgabean (talk) 15:22, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Advertising soapbox

I've flagged the section on Automated OEE Systems. Why? "...the advent of plant floor networks and OPC technology have opened the gateway to a plethora of automated OEE systems"... "Innovators in the field of automated OEE are shown in the following table"... - really? First of all, "OPC technology" is just an implementation trademark and has nothing to do with the subject. "Plethora" is a weasel word. "Innovators" is debatable as well. But I'm mostly concerned about the fact that this table exists in the first place. Shouldn't this be called out as a list for comparison, and if so, shouldn't it be made somewhat more encyclopedic? (I'm speaking as a small business owner who is working in this field himself - I wouldn't mind a prominent link or two to my homepage from Wikipedia, but that just doesn't seem ethical...) I think it's fair to question some of the contributions' motives based on the fact that OEE is one of the biggest buzzwords in industry right now. --LarsKemmann (talk) 16:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
