OEE & Factory Performance worked example

Performance Efficiency with actual output of 2,300 units: a worked example

This scenario runs the performance efficiency calculation on the strong side: actual output of 2,300 units, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it as the performance pillar of OEE in OEE & Factory Performance.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual output: 2,300 units (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 920)
  • Ideal output at rated speed: 1,000 units (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Performance = actual output รท ideal output at rated speed) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 230 % for performance efficiency, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2,300 units for actual output.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,000 units for ideal output.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0 units for lost output.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where actual output sits at 920 units and the headline result is 92 %, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 230 %.
  • Use it whenever a line ran for its scheduled time but produced fewer units than its nameplate speed predicts, to isolate speed and minor-stop losses. 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

  • Performance efficiency: 230 % (headline result)
  • Actual output: 2,300 units
  • Ideal output: 1,000 units
  • Lost output: 0 units

Run it with your numbers

  • Every input above is editable in the live Performance Efficiency calculator, which recalculates instantly and can be shared with the inputs intact.
