OEE standardisation

Recently, I've been reading a lot about and thinking about OEE measurements. I've read several documents that describe solutions for specific machines. My collegue supplied me with a good document specifically written for packaging machines.
After some discussions I found that most record events and then link a machine status to that event. For example:
- Event = machine stopped @
- Machine status = (non limitative)

• Status of the different parts of the machine
• Alarm list
• counters for product
• ...

I'm trying to think up a (generic) method to work with OEE:

• How do we cut-up the machine / production line
• Reference speed / reference quantities / quality targets
• types of STOP events

Generating Work Orders based on events

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a system automatically generate work orders when certain events occur. An example: whenever a high level in a container is reached we ‘generate’ a work order to check whether the evacuation pump is not blocked.
Sometimes it’s only necessary to collect all checks in a list – when no urgency exists. In other cases we might need creating an urgent work order to repair or check something.

URGENT WORK
Whenever an event occurs that is marked as being urgent, the SYSTEM will immediately generate a work order.

CHECKLISTS - Less urgent work
Whenever something unexpected happens, we will not always rush to it. Sometimes it is more logical to group these events and run them trough during a check round.
