OEE & Factory Performance worked example

Factory Dashboard Savings at 92% realization rate: a worked example

This scenario runs the factory dashboard savings calculation on the strong side: 92% realization rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when factory dashboard savings in oee and factory performance is being put through a oee and factory performance weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Operators using dashboards: 100 operators (unchanged)
  • Hours saved per operator: 45 hr (unchanged)
  • Realization rate: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Annual platform license cost: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Weighted cost = quantity × rate × capture factor + fixed adjustment) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for total factory dashboard savings cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for factory dashboard savings cost per unit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for variable factory dashboard savings cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed factory dashboard savings adder.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where realization rate sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • Use it when building or reviewing the business case for a factory dashboard, MES module, or visibility project where benefits depend on a partial-capture assumption. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
