Role and scope of overall equipment effectiveness implementation in Indian sugarmill industries: A justified approach

Abstract

Indian process industries have come a long way to modify their technological aspects. Although consumption of processed beverages and food is booming around the globe, Indian process industries such as sugar mills are still struggling to make the best out of their resources. So, it is needful to implement a valuable strategy such as overall equipment effectiveness, which is a product of performance, quality and availability. This execution will enhance performance as well as production by mitigating the faults in the processes, operations and activities. This study presents overall equipment effectiveness as a metric approach for measuring performance. Since limited literature is available regarding overall equipment effectiveness implementation in the processing units in India; there is great scope of this study and its benefits. This study will enhance the knowledge of the stakeholders as well as researchers and will encourage overall equipment effectiveness implementation in this sector.
