Abstract: The paper reviews the background of OEE and various improvement frameworks and explores their limitations. The review found that there is a lack of improvement frameworks with systematic steps specifically developed for OEE implementation. In addition, it was found that improvement frameworks of different methodologies do not fully capitalise on the use of performance measures as benchmarks and improvement drivers although they provide structured improvement steps/guidelines. These findings show there is a need for a new integrated OEE improvement framework that incorporates the advantages of both OEE and improvement frameworks. By encompassing the core characteristics of OEE and synergising the strengths of improvement frameworks, the new framework will provide OEE practitioners a systematic guidance in carrying out improvement implementation. It will also provide overall directions on how to carry out OEE improvements and allow the practitioners to make better decisions regarding project management.
