In the recent past maintenance strategy has gained heightened importance in organisations and requires the manufacturing and maintenance managers to develop and follow well devised production and maintenance plans. Remarkable improvement has taken place in the maintenance management of physical assets and productive systems, to reduce wastage of energy and resources. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) methodology is a proven approach to increase overall performance of equipment. In the present paper, a method is proposed to evaluate OEE by including a factor known as usability, in the OEE calculation method. Further, an approach is developed to evaluate the earning capacity of addressing the six big losses, with incremental improvement in OEE, as an extension to the maturity of OEE.
