The man machine study is often used to exemplify the most productive way to use multiple operators, machines or any combination of people and machines. Man-machine time study is used to minimize idle operator/machine time, to optimize resources of operator and machines so that all the possible resources can utilized. The OEE also allows for drilling down for very specific analysis, such as a particular Part Number, Shift, or any of several other parameters. It is unlikely that any manufacturing process can run at 100% OEE. Many manufacturers benchmark their industry to set a challenging target; 85% is not uncommon.
