The increasing development of the textile industries has made the competition sharper. To maintain a competitive place in the market, it is critical for a textile industry to keep their production effectiveness at the highest level. Total productive maintenance (TPM) can be done to improve production performance, both in terms of quantity and quality. How successful the TPM implementation is measured by Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) which shows the effectiveness level of a particular machine. The imbalance pattern between target and actual production in almost all departments in the textile industry encourages OEE analysis to determine the performance of each machine they use. However, operators are facing difficulties in measuring OEE for every machine manually. This study aims to develop a computerized database system to help measure the OEE calculation so it can help the company knows their real-time machine performance. It automates the process of OEE calculation and identify the losses associated with equipment effectiveness. The developed system is validated using the historical operational data of a Spinning Department in a textile industry.
