Abstract
The multiproduct production system has been applied extensively in factories worldwide due to the diverse consumption habits of consumers. However, current Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measurement methods are not suitable for it properly. With the prevailing of multiproduct production system, it is essential to measure the effectiveness accurately in this kind of production system. In order to fill this gap, based on analyzing former OEE models, we propose the multiproduct production system effectiveness (MPSE), including the calculating steps and application framework, in this paper using the heuristic method. This MPSE is verified by a case study. The principal results show that the proposed MPSE can significantly enhance overall production effectiveness and improve the measurement of indicators in the multiproduct production system, which enriches the theory of OEE at the theoretical level and proposes a novel way to measure and improve the effectiveness of the multiproduct production system effectively at the practical level.

Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced our life on so many levels [1,2]. Recently the second explosion of the virus has caused a sharp increase in the demand of different kinds of medical equipment in a short time again, such as adult masks and children’s masks.These fast market changes push the manufacturing factories to upgrade their traditional manufacturing system, which means that products in different colors, diverse forms, and various purposes should be manufactured in one equipment or one production line.In addition, the ability to promptly and efficiently meet the diverse external demands has become one of the most important evaluation criteria of a business’s core competitiveness, especially under the fierce competition [3,4]. The second explosion of the virus has caused a sharp increase in the demand of different kinds of medical equipment in a short time again, such as adult masks and children’s masks. These fast market changes push the manufacturing factories to upgrade their traditional manufacturing system, which means that products in different colors, diverse forms, and various purposes should be manufactured in one equipment or one production line. 3. In change, Enterprise Q upgraded its manufacturing system, and it has 18 production addition, these products are quite different in thickness, humidity, toughness and so on lines which produce more than 200 kinds of household paper. Products vary inproduction shape, size, pattern and the like, equipment, that it is these a typical multiproduct system.
