Plating, Anodizing & Surface Treatment worked example

Plating Line OEE at 99% line performance vs ideal cycle: a worked example

This scenario runs the plating line oee calculation on the strong side: 99% line performance vs ideal cycle, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it to benchmark line effectiveness and target the biggest loss in Plating, Anodizing & Surface Treatment.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual plating run time: 410 min (unchanged)
  • Planned plating production time: 480 min (unchanged)
  • Line performance vs ideal cycle: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
  • Coating first-pass yield: 98 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Availability = operating time รท planned production time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 82.87 % for oee, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 85.42 % for availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for performance.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for quality.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where line performance vs ideal cycle sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 4.21% above the baseline at 82.87 %.
  • Use it for daily line reviews, before/after comparisons on improvement projects, or to benchmark shifts and lines. 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

  • OEE: 82.87 % (headline result)
  • Availability: 85.42 %
  • Performance: 99 %
  • Quality: 98 %
