OEE is three numbers. Most plants measure two of them properly.
Availability has a live board. Performance has a live board. Quality has a spreadsheet somebody updates on Friday from memory.
So the improvement work goes where the data is rather than where the loss is. In a lot of plants the biggest recoverable number is the one on the spreadsheet.
Instrument quality first. It usually changes what you work on next.
