| Abstract: | As a well-known sector in terms of advancements, the automotive industry constantly faces challenges regarding lower production outputs due to significant efficiency losses and high costs. Managers face many implications in the current production scenario, where Industry 4.0 is developing rapidly and a lot of real-time data is available. While existing research developed models to predict the holistic performance of production operations, it remains unclear how managerial actions contribute to detailed Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) elements. This study addresses the gap of predicting the impact of managerial actions on detailed elements of production operations in the automotive industry. Relying on 119 annual reports from 2023 of global automotive firms, this research applies text mining and regression analysis to develop a predictive framework. The results show a nuanced positive impact of managerial actions theorized within Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Lean Management (LM), and Total Quality Management (TQM) on respectively the availability, performance, and quality element of the OEE. Theoretically, this is the first study to develop a predictive framework to assess the impact of managerial actions on detailed OEE elements of production operations in the global automotive industry. Practically, the most effective management practices to improve detailed OEE elements in this setting are identified. |
