Hot take from a plant we visited last week: the OEE meeting is a meeting that exists because no system in the plant has been given permission to act on its own conclusions.
Think about what an OEE meeting actually is. A group of expensive humans take data that the MES already has, summarize it into slides the MES could already generate, then debate which losses to address with corrective actions that the engineers in the room could have proposed without each other being present. The meeting exists to convert reports into decisions, because no software has been allowed to make decisions on its own.
Why software hasn't, until now
The reason isn't capability. Rule-based systems could have automated half of an OEE meeting since 2010. The reason is trust. A rule-based system that fires the wrong corrective action can shut down a line. A rule-based system that misses a subtle correlation across three signals is invisible to the engineers it's supposed to help. So plants quietly stopped trusting them, and the meeting filled the gap.
We're not arguing the OEE meeting goes away. Some plant-floor conversations should stay human. We're arguing the meeting stops being the bottleneck, because the data work that fills 80% of it is done before standup, by an agent your team trained to think like them.
