However, there is a lack of theoretical foundation and detailed descriptions of what measures to include and how to measure. Overall Worker Efficiency (OWE) is suggested in this article as a standard indicator to be applicable in all sorts of industries and levels of automation. The name OWE indicates its similarities to OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). The theoretical design is similar, it is the ratio of “value adding” time to the total planned working time. However, there are many difficulties to define what value adding time is and what to include in the planned working time. Several variants of OWE are presented in this article. The selection of variant to be applied for a company should be based on the purpose for the measure. OWE can be used to follow up losses on station or line level, it can be used during a ramp-up phase to follow the number of extra personnel needed, or it can for...

This performance measure is used for identifying the losses experienced by machines in a manufacturing process. While this measure is considered best practice, there exists no corresponding measure for manual labor in e.g. an assembly line. Volvo Cars Corporation is currently in the process of developing new performance measures for their production system development projects and has suggested a measure called Overall worker efficiency (OWE) for capturing the losses experienced in spent man hours. The purpose of this master thesis is to develop an Overall Worker Efficiency KPI for Volvo Cars that is also generalizable for the manufacturing industry. To fulfill this purpose a case study at Volvo Cars Engine Skövde was performed together with a literature study. The literature study covers topics deemed relevant for effective utilization of performance meas...
