Packaging Line OEE at 99% packaging performance factor: a worked example

This scenario runs the packaging line oee calculation on the strong side: 99% packaging performance factor, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it for cartoners, wrappers, labelers, case packers, palletizers, pouch lines, bottling lines, canning lines, and other CPG packaging assets.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual packaging operating time: 410 min (unchanged)
  • Planned packaging time: 480 min (unchanged)
  • Packaging performance factor: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 92)
  • Packaging quality factor: 98 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Packaging Line OEE availability = actual packaging operating time ÷ planned packaging time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 82.87 % OEE for effective packaging line oee, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 85.42 % for base availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for packaging performance factor.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for packaging quality factor.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where packaging performance factor sits at 92% and the headline result is 77.01 % OEE, this scenario comes in 7.61% above the baseline at 82.87 % OEE.
  • Use it on any packaging line — fillers, cappers, labelers, case-packers, palletizers — when you have run time, planned time, and credible performance and quality estimates. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Effective packaging line OEE: 82.87 % OEE (headline result)
