Evaluation of OEE at Lifelong India Using Lean Practices: A Case Study.

Today, the industry is facing issues related to nonvalue-added activities (NVA). By integrating lean practices, industries can systematically evaluate and enhance their overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), leading to more efficient and effective production processes. This alignment not only boosts productivity by eliminating nonvalue activities but also contributes to higher quality outputs and reduced operational costs as well. Manufacturers are required to use value-added approaches in their manufacturing management due to the intense rivalry in real-world markets and growing client needs. Through continuous improvement, lean manufacturing (LM) has been demonstrated to be a significant technique for getting rid of nonvalue-added operations in manufacturing organizations. OEE at Lifelong India is assessed using lean tools and techniques, including Pareto analysis, Why–Why analysis, Kaizen concept and evaluation of Kaizen ideas, as well as before-and-after comparison, in order to assess the operational performance of the organization. A questionnaire was designed with data collection in mind, and business professionals in the field were surveyed and contacted personally. This study indicates that widespread implementation of lean principles leads to an increase in OEE of 95.89%, a level of OEE that is unmatched in the industry and ensures flawless output.
