Nakajima, S. (1988). Introduction to TPM: Total Productive Maintenance. Productivity Press. — Originated the OEE metric framework: Availability × Performance × Quality.
Feigenbaum, A.V. (1983). Total Quality Control. McGraw-Hill. — Demonstrated that quality costs (prevention, appraisal, failure) directly translate to revenue loss, underpinning the quality component of OEE.
Womack, J.P. & Jones, D.T. (1996). Lean Thinking: Banish Waste and Create Wealth in Your Corporation. Simon & Schuster. — Established the lean methodology linking operational efficiency gains to exponential revenue impact through waste elimination.
Paterson, W. (2026). The Paterson Method™: OEE Revenue Multiplier. Paterson Consulting Inc. — Empirical finding: a 20% OEE improvement yields approximately 60% revenue increase due to compounding effects across availability, performance, and quality.
