Gypsum, Drywall & Interior Panel Manufacturing worked example

Line OEE at 68% line performance rate: a worked example in gypsum, drywall & interior panel manufacturing

Suppose line performance rate falls to 68%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate board line OEE by combining availability, performance rate, and quality yield into a single efficiency metric.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual board running time: 420 min (held at the documented default)
  • Planned production time: 480 min (held at the documented default)
  • Line performance rate: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
  • Board quality yield: 98 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Availability = actual running time / planned production time.
  • Effective availability works out to 58.31 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Base availability works out to 87.5 % at these inputs.
  • Performance factor works out to 68 % at these inputs.
  • Quality factor works out to 98 % at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where line performance rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 81.46 %, this scenario comes in 28.42% below the baseline at 58.31 %.
  • It computes Line OEE as availability times performance rate times quality yield, where availability is actual running time divided by planned production time. 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.

  • Effective availability: 58.31 % (headline result)
  • Base availability: 87.5 %
  • Performance factor: 68 %
  • Quality factor: 98 %
