Coffee, Tea, Roasting & Dry Goods Processing worked example

Line OEE at 99% speed performance factor: a worked example in coffee, tea, roasting & dry goods processing

What does the result look like when speed performance factor reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. reviewing coffee, tea, or dry goods line performance by shift or run

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual line operating time: 6.6 hr (unchanged)
  • Planned production time: 8 hr (unchanged)
  • Speed performance factor: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 88)
  • Quality release factor: 97 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base availability = line operating time ÷ planned production time × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 79.22 % for line oee, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 82.5 % for base packaging or roasting availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for speed performance factor.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 97 % for quality release factor.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where speed performance factor sits at 88% and the headline result is 70.42 %, this scenario comes in 12.5% above the baseline at 79.22 %.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when speed performance factor is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It is only as good as your loss data — if planned time excludes scheduled stops inconsistently, or performance and quality are estimated rather than measured, the OEE will mislead.
