OEE offers an effective framework to monitor and enhance equipment performance. This metric integrates three key components: availability, performance, and quality, which together provide a detailed insight into the operational effectiveness of machinery. The method used in this study is arithmetic calculation of overall equipment efficiency (Availability, Performance and Quality).The results of a thorough data-driven approach offer paper sack makers practical suggestions to boost output, cut waste, and improve long-term equipment dependability, all of which contribute to more sustainable. The current OEE of Thal Packaging calculated was 58%.The downtime for the January 2023 was 6108 minutes. The vital few causes of Thal Packaging downtime was equipment failure, Tube shortage, Paper shortage, Power shutdown and Machine Idleness.
