OEE Specialist Services

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most powerful metrics for understanding where production performance is being lost — but many sites struggle to measure it accurately and act on what the data reveals. DEVA Maintenance Services provides specialist OEE analysis that breaks down availability, performance and quality losses into specific, actionable engineering opportunities. We help you establish reliable data collection, build meaningful KPIs, and identify the biggest losses affecting your numbers. More importantly, we don't just hand over a report — we work with your engineering and production teams to implement the physical and process changes needed to move the numbers. From addressing repeat micro-stoppages and speed losses to reducing quality defects and changeover downtime, our OEE work connects data insight with practical engineering action.

What's included

What this service includes

Our OEE specialist service covers OEE data collection system review and improvement to ensure you are measuring the right things accurately. Availability analysis focuses on breakdowns, changeovers, planned stops, and material shortages that stop the line. Performance analysis identifies speed losses, micro-stoppages, and idle time that erode output even when the line is running. Quality analysis reviews defect causes, rework rates, and yield losses that reduce the value of what you produce. Downtime analysis includes pareto breakdown by loss category so you know where to focus first. Production efficiency reviews compare actual performance against design capacity to identify hidden potential. Loss identification and prioritisation workshops bring engineering and production together to agree on the top targets. KPI development aligns engineering and production targets with clear, visual metrics that everyone understands. Data-driven improvement strategies include implementation support so the numbers actually move.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is OEE and why does it matter?

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures how effectively production equipment is used by combining availability, performance, and quality. It reveals hidden losses that cost production and profit.

We already track downtime — is that enough?

Downtime tracking is useful but only captures part of the picture. OEE also includes speed losses and quality defects, which can be bigger issues than breakdowns.

How do you collect OEE data?

We can work with your existing data collection systems, recommend improvements, or help you establish new measurement methods that are accurate and sustainable.

What if our OEE is already above 80%?

Even high-performing sites have losses. We can help identify the remaining improvement opportunities and the engineering changes needed to capture them.

How long does an OEE analysis take?

A typical OEE assessment takes 1-2 weeks of data collection and analysis, followed by a presentation of findings and recommendations.

Do you implement the changes or just analyse?

We do both — we analyse the losses, identify the root causes, and implement the engineering and process changes needed to improve the numbers.

Will our operators and engineers understand the OEE data?

Yes — we present data in clear visual formats and run workshops so your team understands what the numbers mean and how to respond.
