MONITORING THE OVERALL EQUIPMENT EFFECTIVENESS INDICATOR AS A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF A MAIN PIPELINE’S PROCESS SECTION OPERATION

The article proposes a methodology for assessing the efficiency of a main pipeline process section and the use of equipment installed on it. To assess the efficiency, a comprehensive indicator of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is adopted, consisting of four parameters: the value of the reduced cyclity of pipeline sections loading, the loading degree of the process equipment, specific energy, and the duration of use of working time. The analysis of the comprehensive indicator of OEE is a comparison of the actual (achieved) OEE indicator with the planned OEE indicator. As a result of assessing the value obtained during the comparison, recommendations are issued and measures are developed to improve the efficiency of the pipeline.
