Filler OEE at 66% filler speed performance vs rated speed: a worked example

Suppose filler speed performance vs rated speed falls to 66%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate filler OEE from filler availability, speed performance, and good-fill quality for a bottling or canning run.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Filler operating (run) time this shift: 6.8 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Planned filler production time: 8 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Filler speed performance vs rated speed: 66 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 91)
  • Good-fill quality rate after rejects: 98 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Filler availability = filler operating time ÷ planned filler production time.
  • Filler OEE works out to 54.98 % OEE at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Filler availability works out to 85 % at these inputs.
  • Filler speed performance versus standard works out to 66 % at these inputs.
  • Good-fill quality after low-fill and high-fill rejects works out to 98 % at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where filler speed performance vs rated speed sits at 91% and the headline result is 75.8 % OEE, this scenario comes in 27.47% below the baseline at 54.98 % OEE.
  • It computes overall equipment effectiveness for a filler by multiplying availability (operating time ÷ planned time) by speed performance and good-fill quality. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Filler OEE: 54.98 % OEE (headline result)
