1. Availability
2. Performance
3. Quality
Availability is the percentage of the planned time that a machine is available. It is a measurement of
uptime that is designed to remove the effects of scheduled downtime, quality and performance.
Performance is the percentage of the designed speed at which the machine is running. It is a
measurement of speed that is designed to remove the effects of availability and quality.
Quality is the percentage of the planned total units produced. It is a measurement of yield that is
designed to remove the effects of availability and performance.
Each of these calculations produces a value between zero and one. When this information is
displayed it is usual for this value to be multiplied by one hundred and presented as a percentage
value.
Consider the following:
Availability
0.56
Performance 0.78
Quality 0.87
To calculate OEE we would perform the following calculation:
= 0.56 x 0.78 x 0.87
= 0.38
When displaying this information the following would be displayed:
Availability 56%
Performance 78%
Quality 87%
OEE 38%
