OEE training presentation
Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is the share of planned production time that was truly productive: the machine running, running at its ideal speed and making good parts. This free deck teaches how to calculate it in about 45 minutes. Its 19 editable slides cover availability, performance and quality, the six big losses, the six numbers you need, ideal cycle time, one worked shift, rolling OEE up to a line, what a good score is, the mistakes that inflate the number, a 20-minute exercise on a real shift and four check questions with answers. It teaches the arithmetic and what each loss means; the TPM deck covers the pillars. Every slide has speaker notes, so a team leader can present it without a script.

- 7The six numbers you needSix numbers from one machine or line over one period are enough.
- 8Ideal cycle time: the number people get wrongPerformance is only as good as the ideal cycle time behind it.
- 9Example: one shift, from planned time to OEEA line with a 450-minute planned production time.
- 10Where to look when a factor is lowWork on the loss with the most minutes, not the factor with the lowest score.
- 11Two products on one machineEach product has its own ideal cycle time, so one average will mislead you.

How to run it
Running the session
- 1
Prepare
Read the speaker notes once and swap the illustrative example for one from your own area if you have it. Print the PDF if people like a handout.
- 2
Present
The slides take about 25 minutes. Every slide has notes, so you can talk from them rather than read the slide.
- 3
Do the activity
Pick one machine and one finished shift. Gather the six numbers from the schedule, the stop log and the counts. The activity slide takes the team through it step by step; allow 20 minutes.
- 4
Check and follow up
Ask the check questions before showing the answers, then agree one next step with an owner and a date before people leave.
The check questions
- 1. A machine ran 360 minutes of a 400-minute planned production time. What is availability?
- 360 ÷ 400 = 90%.
- 2. Which of the six big losses are performance losses?
- Small stops and reduced speed.
- 3. Machine 1 ran 8 planned hours at 80% and machine 2 ran 2 planned hours at 50%. Is the combined OEE 65%?
- No. Weighted by planned time it is 74%. Never average the percentages.
- 4. A line reports performance of 108%. What does that tell you?
- The ideal cycle time or the count is wrong, because a machine cannot beat its ideal rate. Find the error.
Templates and guides to go with it
- OEE tracking sheetOne row per shift for a week. The Excel version works out availability, performance, quality and OEE and charts the week.
- Six big losses worksheetWhere a machine's planned time goes: the six big losses in minutes, ranked, with A, P, Q and OEE worked out.
- Downtime reason codes template26 starter codes mapped to the six big losses, a log with drop-downs, a Pareto by code and by loss, and a code card for the line.
- Equipment downtime log (MTTR and MTBF)A breakdown and downtime log, with MTTR, MTBF and downtime by machine and cause worked out in Excel.
- Topic: TPM and maintenanceEvery guide we have on the subject, sorted.

FAQ
OEE training presentation: common questions
About 45 minutes: roughly 20 minutes of slides, a 20-minute exercise on a real shift and the check questions.
Yes. It works one shift step by step: availability, performance, quality and OEE, then checks the answer with the one-step shortcut and turns the result into lost minutes. It also covers mixed products and how to roll OEE up to a line.
The 85% often called world-class is attributed to Seiichi Nakajima's work on total productive maintenance. It is a reference for discrete manufacturing, not a target for every process. The comparison that matters is your own line, measured the same way over time.
Only the part that touches OEE: the six big losses. The separate TPM training deck covers the pillars, autonomous maintenance and how plants start. This deck is the one to use when people need to calculate and read the number.
Yes. The PowerPoint file is fully editable, including the speaker notes. Many teams swap the worked shift for last week's figures from one of their own machines.
