Mixing, Blending & Industrial Batch Processing worked example
Batch Cycle OEE at 66% cycle performance rate: a worked example
This worked example runs the batch cycle oee numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 66% cycle performance rate instead of the typical 92%. Roll up batch plant OEE from mixer operating time, planned production time, cycle performance, and first-pass batch quality.
The inputs for this scenario
- Mixer operating time: 420 hr (held at the documented default)
- Planned production time: 480 hr (held at the documented default)
- Cycle performance rate: 66 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 92)
- First-pass batch quality: 98 % (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Availability = mixer operating time รท planned production time.
- Effective availability works out to 56.6 % 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 66 % 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 cycle performance rate sits at 92% and the headline result is 78.89 %, this scenario comes in 28.26% below the baseline at 56.6 %.
- Use it to baseline a mixing line, compare shifts or recipes, and target the biggest of the three OEE losses. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
Results at a glance
- Effective availability: 56.6 % (headline result)
