Bulk Solids, Mining, Aggregates & Material Processing worked example

Material Processing OEE at 99% performance: a worked example

Push performance up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it to benchmark line effectiveness and target the biggest loss in Bulk Solids, Mining, Aggregates & Material Processing.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Operating (run) time: 410 min (unchanged)
  • Planned production time: 480 min (unchanged)
  • Performance: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
  • Quality (first-pass yield): 98 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Availability = operating time รท planned production time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 82.87 % for oee, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 85.42 % for availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for performance.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for quality.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where performance sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 4.21% above the baseline at 82.87 %.
  • It computes OEE for a material-processing line as the product of availability (run time over planned time), performance, and first-pass quality yield. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • OEE: 82.87 % (headline result)
  • Availability: 85.42 %
  • Performance: 99 %
  • Quality: 98 %
