What is TEEP?<\/h2>\n

Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP) is a core measure of manufacturing productivity that takes all available productive time into account. It can be a very useful metric to support strategic decision-making by high-level management seeking to improve operational efficiency.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” css=”.vc_custom_1687442797424{margin-top: 40px !important;}” el_class=”limble-page-blog-width”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does TEEP compare to other performance metrics?<\/h2>\n

TEEP is one of three key metrics organizations use to work toward improvement in manufacturing \u2014 the other two being Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)<\/a> and Overall Operations Effectiveness (OOE)<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All of them are calculated by multiplying the same three factors: availability, performance, and quality. The <\/span>only<\/span><\/i> difference lies in how they define the variable of \u201cavailability<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You can think of the three metrics as babushka dolls, where opening one doll reveals another inside it.<\/span><\/p>\n

TEEP is the outermost doll, providing strategic insight into the most efficient use of plant assets to support strategy formulation. OOE is the next layer and is a tactical metric that measures plant efficiency against the planned operational time. OEE is at the center as a pure measure of operational performance against equipment availability.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a quick look at each of them separately to understand how they are interrelated and what each one can tell you about your plant\u2019s performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)<\/span><\/h3>\n

OEE indicates the percentage of time during which a machine is operating correctly, compared to its scheduled availability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A key differentiator of OEE is that <\/span>it only includes breakdowns and planned stoppages <\/b>that impact production performance. It <\/span>does not<\/b> consider times when the machine is out of operation for other reasons, such as planned maintenance, management calling a stoppage for training, or workers holding a union meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OEE is a pure measure of operational effectiveness, using true production availability as a baseline.<\/b><\/p>\n

Overall Operations Effectiveness (OOE)<\/span><\/h3>\n

OOE has a slightly wider focus than OEE.<\/span><\/p>\n

For OOE, if someone takes the equipment out of operation <\/span>for any reason (planned or unplanned)<\/b>, it will impact the operational performance. Considering the previous examples of planned maintenance, training sessions, or union meetings, all of them will impact the performance component of OOE.<\/span><\/p>\n

OOE is a tactical metric that measures operating performance against the total time the equipment was scheduled as available to operate.<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-bottom” kd_top_separator_style=”skew-left” kd_top_separator_height=”separator-height-small” kd_bottom_separator_style=”skew-left” kd_bottom_separator_height=”separator-height-small” kd_top_separator=”true” kd_bottom_separator=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1682969576554{margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 120px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background: #dde4e8 url(https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cta-laired-hex-4.webp?id=9077) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 0px !important;}” css_tablet_landscape=”.vc_custom_1682969576554{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” css_tablet_portrait=”.vc_custom_1682969576555{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” css_mobile=”.vc_custom_1682969576555{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column_inner]

Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP)<\/h2>\n

TEEP widens its focus even further to consider manufacturing performance against a baseline of continuous operation, <\/span>running 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stoppage for any reason, such as the factory stopping overnight or on weekends, will impact availability and reduce the final TEEP percentage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TEEP is a more strategic metric that gives insight into a plant\u2019s total available production capacity and efficiency of asset usage.<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” css=”.vc_custom_1687440273251{margin-top: 40px !important;}” el_class=”limble-page-blog-width”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

TEEP vs OOE vs OEE<\/h2>\n

If that was a little too abstract, we can always nail it down by introducing one more visual aid.<\/span>

In the graphic above, you can clearly see how the availability factor differs from metric to metric. It is very important to understand these nuanced differences before you make significant changes on your plant floor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” css=”.vc_custom_1687440273251{margin-top: 40px !important;}” el_class=”limble-page-blog-width”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Total Effective Equipment Performance formula and calculation example<\/h2>\n

When managers seek to understand where their business might increase production capacity, TEEP provides useful insight into how efficiently the business uses the current equipment and resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s introduce an example we can use as a reference point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assuming three months for our measurement, say August through October, the total calendar time available for production will be <\/span>2,208 hours<\/b> (92 days x 24 hours). <\/span>If the production line operates fully for 2,208 hours in that period, it will achieve 100% TEEP<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, our production facility only runs two eight-hour shifts, based on a five-day work week. From that, our planned production time is easy to calculate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planned production time = 16 hours x 92 days x (5\/7) working days in a week<\/span><\/p>\n

Planned production time = 1472 x 0.72<\/span><\/p>\n

Planned production time = <\/span>1051 hours<\/b><\/p>\n

Therefore, the best TEEP we could hope for, if all ran perfectly, is 48% (1,051 hours of scheduled time, divided by 2,208, and multiplied by 100 to get a percentage). <\/span>This 48% is the availability figure<\/b> we will use in our final calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, but as expected, everything does not run perfectly. Our factory sometimes experiences equipment failure; combined with repairs and maintenance times, we reach an average downtime of 2.9 hours every day. Therefore, <\/span>our performance is 82%<\/b> (13.1 hours divided by 16 and multiplied by 100).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, while product quality is good, it\u2019s not 100%. During the three months in our example, the factory ran into quality issues and <\/span>product quality averaged 91%<\/b> \u2014 some products required rework. <\/span><\/p>\n

If we run the TEEP formula using those numbers<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

TEEP = Availability x Performance x Quality<\/span><\/p>\n

TEEP = .48 x .82 x .91<\/span><\/p>\n

TEEP = 36%\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The TEEP for August through October was <\/span>36%<\/b>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top” el_class=”limble-page-blog-width”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
