Abstract
This study investigates a framework for enhancing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of sheet-fed offset
printers, focusing on the packaging sector. The research explores the understanding and implementation of OEE valuation
within this context. Through a specific case study, the OEE value is 22%, with contributions from Availability,
Performance, and Quality rates at 41%, 58%, and 94%, respectively. These findings underscore a substantial deviation
from the world-class standard of 85%, indicating significant room for improvement. Based on Six Big Losses (SBL) and
Cause and Defect diagram analysis, workers' lack of knowledge and skill and ineffective management methods are critical
contributors to low OEE rates. In response, an action plan is proposed to improve OEE, aiming to reduce time losses by
approximately 60% and achieve a standard OEE value. This research offers valuable insights into optimizing the efficiency
of sheet-fed offset printers, offering practical strategies for enhancing productivity and competitiveness in the printing
industry.
