Evaluation of overall equipment effectivity in the cement manufacturing industry: a case study

Abstract

Abstract Overall equipment effectiveness is one of the important tools to measure the productivity in the company. This research is based on a case study of cement manufacturing industry in Indonesia, especially in kiln machine. The research aims to investigate the six big losses. In addition, the calculation of availability components, performance efficiency, and quality rate are carried out. The fishbone diagram is also employed to identify the root cause of the problem deeply. The results show the biggest losses in the kiln machine are the reduced speed losses. Therefore, the availability component and the performance efficiency should be improved to increase the productivity and the efficiency in the shop floor. Some suggestions are presented such as make a better surveillance system, improve the planning of preventive maintenance machine, and replace the more sophisticated maintenance tools to facilitate maintaining the machine.
