Online video course “OEE Management” with certificate available

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a well-known but surprisingly underused indicator for managing manufacturing companies. One of the reasons is that the KPI needs to be explained in detail. For this reason, the two founders of oee.ai, Prof. Dr. Markus Focke and Jörn Steinbeck, have published a comprehensive on-line video course “OEE Management” on the Udemy platform.

Udemy is one of the largest global learning platforms on the Internet. The on-line video course “OEE Management” has been available there since November 2020. The lecturers are Prof. Dr. Markus Focke and Jörn Steinbeck, the two founders of oee.ai. The course has a pure video duration of just over 5 hours and is supplemented by exercises, quizzes and materials for download. The target group for the course is employees in a management role from manufacturing companies, from COO to lean management managers or even production managers. No previous knowledge of the concept is required, making the course also suitable for beginners. Experienced operations managers and process optimizers will also learn many tricks and tricks to make better use of OEE for their own organization.

The course is divided into 10 sections:

1. Presentation of learning objectives and speakers
2. OEE as a representation of true plant productivity
3. OEE as a tool for identifying losses
4. Options for recording OEE and fault reasons
5. Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence to increase OEE
6. Analysis of OEE and fault reasons, targeted OEE improvement
7. Employee motivation for OEE management
8. Company maturity and evaluation of OEE improvements
9. Summary and other sources of information
10. oee.ai Manufacturing Analytics bonus track

The aim of the course is to provide comprehensive knowledge both about defining OEE and collecting relevant data for the improvement process — and also to shed light on topics such as change management, employee motivation and the possibilities of Industry 4.0 technologies in detail. The sections are relatively independent, so that individual components can also be skipped over.

The course can be accessed via the following link: Udemy OEE Management Course

Anyone who works their way through the videos and quizzes will be rewarded with a Udemy certificate to print out themselves.
