Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP)

What is Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP)?

Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP) is a comprehensive metric that measures the actual equipment productivity and equipment effectiveness of a manufacturing facility. While OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) assesses performance based on availability, performance, and quality during planned production time, TEEP takes it a step further. TEEP accounts for not only the planned production time but also the entire available time, including planned downtime.

In simpler terms, TEEP reflects the full potential of equipment by evaluating its utilization in relation to the total available time (24 hours a day, 7 days a week). The formula is:

TEEP = OEE × Utilization Rate

Here, the Utilization Rate represents the ratio of planned operating time to the total available time. This metric provides companies with a detailed view of their overall equipment performance, allowing them to assess productivity relative to the maximum possible operating time.

TEEP vs. OEE

While OEE focuses on equipment efficiency during scheduled production hours, TEEP evaluates the efficiency of equipment against its full time capacity, including unused periods outside regular production hours. Improving the TEEP score enables businesses to optimize their equipment productivity by utilizing machines during off-hours, such as through extended shifts or minimizing scheduled downtime.

A high TEEP score indicates that a company is not only optimizing its production during planned operating hours but is also effectively planning for machine usage throughout the entire day. This is particularly crucial in industries that require continuous manufacturing around the clock.

Connection to OEE and Production Boost

As with OEE calculations, TEEP also hinges on availability, performance, and quality. By improving their TEEP score, companies work to maximize their overall equipment performance. This involves optimizing processes during both regular working hours and beyond, addressing key questions of production planning and resource utilization to achieve greater efficiency.

Teams can effectively answer questions regarding the planning and utilization of resources, contributing to optimized processes that enhance equipment productivity. This leads to higher levels of production and improved equipment utilization.

Conclusion: The Importance of TEEP in Production

The TEEP score provides an extended perspective on equipment efficiency by considering the full potential of operating time. It complements OEE calculations and offers a detailed analysis of opportunities for boosting production and optimizing efficiency beyond planned operational hours. By increasing their TEEP score, companies can enhance equipment productivity, improve overall equipment performance, and achieve sustainable production gains.
