Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a standard for measuring the productivity of a production line. The OEE index determines the percentage of time that is truly productive. The value of the OEE index equal to 100% reflects the manufacture of only quality products, as fast-efficient as possible, without interruptions. The aim of this thesis is to record the overall efficiency of the equipment of a real production line of melting fuses (knife fuses). The production/assembly line is consisted of 7 production stations. After a detailed record of the work performed in each unit, the problems of operation of the specific production line will be recorded on a daily basis and for a period of one month in order to calculate the overall efficiency of the equipment. A detailed record of equipment malfunctions will clearly and in detail demonstrate the problems leading to any low efficiency of the production line. The purpose of the thesis is ultimately to formulate proposals for improvement that will lead to increased efficiency and production.
