Opening DMS/OEE charts

GainSeeker Defect Management System (DMS) charts can help you identify and eliminate the root causes of errors and defects in your business. Defect management techniques work in almost any environment where quality is counted, but not measured. Managing defects helps reduce cycle time and costs associated with scrap and rework.

GainSeeker uses your OEE data to calculate Availability, Performance, and Quality, and then uses these three metrics to calculate OEE.

To create charts, begin by accessing the DMS Charts dialog (shown above ) from the GainSeeker Charts module by using either:

• the DMS Charts... or OEE Charts... quick-start button,

• the File menu,

• or the toolbar.
