Abstract
The target company uses a standard set of indicators to measure performance and development of their sites, as for example production effectiveness. Both manual and automatic systems for measurement of this indicator are in use, but requirements for a flexible system, specifically designed for the needs of process industry, exist The main purpose of this thesis was to develop a generic and automation independent application, to be used as an indicator on operational and maintenance quality. Applications measuring overall equipment effectiveness were implemented in two customer cases, and a generic application formulated based on the practices from the implementations. The solutions have a process information database as basis and the application consists of a calculation application for events reasoning, event logs for stoppage specifications, production trends together with reports on production effectiveness. The implementations in the customer cases were in general functional and the generic solution stated to comply with the functionalities required when measuring production effectiveness. Furthermore, the foundation of the application is flexible and generally usable for versatile industrial process information systems. Therefore, for effectiveness measurements within process industry, commonly extensive and demanding, the recommendation is that they are implemented in this system. However, in order to further improve and develop the measurement system several characteristics, both related to production effectiveness and general system functionalities, are still to consider.Description
