The Analyse And Improvement Of OEE In Connector-manufacturing Equipment Management

An enterprise's competitiveness shows on better quality, efficiency, effectiveness, innovation, differentiation & customer satisfaction. In production, it shows on high production efficiency, good product quality & low costs. In today's bad environment, how to lower costs to survive, how to shorten lead-time and do diversification, how to work to strict quality requirements and how to improve human environment are important issues. It is more so after entrance WTO (World Trade Organization).The goal of the TPM (Total Productive Management) campaign is to improve the enterprise by improving personnel and equipments in order to achieve nil loss, nil damage, nil public hazard and nil faults. Also by doing so, to increase equipment integration efficiency, production ability, and quality and to decrease costs. The activities are preceded according to the programmers made upon management, guidelines and goals of each company. Basically, twelve steps started it. The result is to use relative index to show on Production, Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety, and Morale. The numbers show that TPM not only tells goal achievement, but it also helps enterprises to improve their quality and build constantly competitive advantage.The focus of this paper is to do a deep research for the specific connector manufacturing equipment in FOXCONN on the key technologies. And some difficult problems that will directly affect OEE are solved. At the same time, a deep understand for the experiments and analysis methods are gained.1. The equipment is deeply analyzed,using many kinds of analysis methods, e.g., Process capability, Brain Storming, Fish Bone Figure, etc. and several serious problems that will effect the production directly were found.2. For the problems be found, bring forward some improving methods from some different sides, e.g., mechanical structure, process control, software control and so on.3. After solving the problems, re-calculating OEE to elaborate the effect from improvement. Finally, the paper presents all main conclusions of the research and some suggestions are given to further research work.
