Interview mit Heinz-Joachim Schulte.

The article features an interview with Heinz-Joachim Schulte, the CEO of the OEE Institute, about the causes of downtime in facilities and the importance of OEE measurement for their improvement. According to Schulte, only about 20% of all downtime has a technical cause, while the rest can be attributed to organizational reasons. He emphasizes that OEE measurement can help reduce these downtimes and increase production performance. Schulte also explains that the biggest hurdle in implementing OEE measurement is the transparency it creates, and that it is important to convince employees that OEE measurement is not intended to control them or eliminate jobs.
