ENHANCING DOCTORAL RESEARCH OUTPUT WITH OVERALL RESEARCH EFFECTIVENESS (ORE): A MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING APPROACH

Abstract

Doctoral research requires efficient time management, resource allocation, and quality output. This paper introduces the Overall Research Effectiveness (ORE) framework, adapted from Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in maintenance engineering, to optimize doctoral research. ORE focuses on availability, performance, and quality, to help PhD candidates improve productivity. Strategies include time management, Lean research techniques, and peer review. ORE in doctoral programs aims to enhance supervision, streamline research, and ensure high academic standards.
