The OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) course is roughly divided into two different parts;
- A theoretical section which includes introductory lessons of the principles behind OEE and how they are used in the system
- A practical section on how to use IFS/OEE in an effective and efficient way.
The introductory lessons in the first two chapters cover both principles and key figures within the area of OEE in general and also principles and definitions used specifically within IFS/OEE. A description of the user oriented design in IFS/OEE and what roles different parts of the system is primarily designed for is also included.
The practical section covers three essential parts; basic data setup, production reporting and finally production follow up and analysis. All the basic data that is required for the system can be accessed from one single location. Entering the basic data once before starting to work with the system ensures the quality of the data since the relevant information will be available throughout the system.
Production reporting is a crucial part of OEE. In order to perform good follow-up and analysis of work the relevant data has to be reported accurately in to the system. Production follow-up is used in the short term to minimize disruptions and stops in the production but it also serves as an input for further analysis. In the long term, the analysis is used to make conclusions for the future and to increase the APQ figures.
The estimated time to complete this course is 8.5 hours.
This course was designed primarily for Business Systems Analysts in Maintenance or employees working within this area.
This chapter covers some general principles within the area of OEE, namely what OEE and APQ stand for, how the figure of APQ is calculated and how OEE can help improve the processes. In addition the chapter also includes definitions of some important key figures used within OEE.

This chapter covers some principles and key terms related to IFS/OEE as well as explanations of some crucial definitions used in the system. Another essential part that is discussed is the user oriented design used in IFS/OEE, i.e., the roles for which IFS/OEE has been designed, the different parts of the system the different roles used and the purpose for using it.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, it is recommended that you complete the OEE Principles Introductory lesson.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 1.25 hours.
All
This chapter covers the following functionality: How to setup the basic data required for IFS/OEE such as production units, actions, event types, products, qualities, loss cause groups, loss causes and also valid combinations of the basic data defined. In addition to these production rates and APQ goals also have to be defined.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, it is recommended that you should have completed the courses OEE Principles Introductory lesson and IFS/OEE Principles Introductory lesson.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 1.5 hours.
This chapter is primarily designed for the Super User and the Process Engineer role, but can also be of interest to other user roles running IFS/OEE.
This chapter covers the following functionality: perform different types of even reporting in IFS/OEE. In addition to describing how to report single events in the system the chapter also describes how to connect several stop events to each other as well as how to create and connect a work order to a stop event within IFS/OEE.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, it is recommended that you complete the lessons under Basic Data and Requirements.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 1.5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for the Operator and the Super User roles, but can also be of interest to other user roles running IFS/OEE.
This chapter covers the following functionality: follow-up and analysis of the production unit. The chapter discusses the purpose behind the functionality and the tasks that can be performed.
Before taking the lessons in this chapter, it is recommended that you complete the lessons under Basic Data and Requirements and Production Process Reporting.
The estimated time to complete this chapter is 3.5 hours.
This chapter was designed primarily for the Operator, Process Engineer and the Production Manager roles but can also be of interest to other user roles running IFS/OEE.
