WorkTrek CMMS

Manufacturing teams track multiple performance metrics—but understanding how they relate is key to improving operations.

Three of the most important metrics are:

• OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
• Downtime
• Throughput

---

What is OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)?

OEE measures how efficiently equipment is operating by combining:

• Availability
• Performance
• Quality

---

What is Downtime?

Downtime is the amount of time equipment is not running when it should be.

This includes:

• Breakdowns
• Changeovers
• Waiting on parts or operators

Downtime directly reduces OEE.

---

What is Throughput?

Throughput measures how much product is produced over time.

It reflects:

• Production speed
• Output volume
• Capacity

---

How They Work Together

• More downtime = lower throughput and lower OEE
• Slower speed = lower throughput and lower OEE
• Poor quality = lower OEE and wasted production

---

Which Metric Matters Most?

OEE is the most complete metric because it combines all three factors.

However, downtime and throughput help identify root causes.

How WorkTrek Helps

WorkTrek CMMS helps improve all three by:

• Tracking downtime in real time
• Automating preventive maintenance
• Improving visibility across assets
• Delivering centralized dashboards
