Dependability shaping approach of devices used in production process

Paper presents the methodology of shaping dependability of devices used in process with use key performance indicators for increasing Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) which are a subject of devices' parameters monitoring under operation. Value of Overall Equipment Efficiency describes the technical state of devices included into production process. Value itself can be different for different production lines even in one industry. For engineers it is important to put all possible effort to increasing values of particular key performance indicators which are building Overall Equipment Efficiency. Values of particular key performance indicators, shows to experienced engineer real technical state of whole production line. Presented in paper selected indicators are connected and have influence for each other, moreover operation parameters of devices' are characterizing production process. Key performance indicators presented in paper represents three the most important aspects of the production process: handling of the process, operators' area of responsibility, management of the process, managers' area of responsibility and optimization of the process, planners' area of responsibility. Only proper cooperation of these three groups of people can benefits requested result. From owners point of view, presented areas have the same importance, problems created in one of them can negatively influence for overall income of whole enterprise.
