Plating, Anodizing & Surface Treatment worked example
Plating Line OEE at 68% line performance vs ideal cycle: a worked example
This worked example runs the plating line oee numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% line performance vs ideal cycle instead of the typical 95%. Calculate OEE for Plating, Anodizing & Surface Treatment from availability, performance, and quality to see how much of planned production time becomes good output.
The inputs for this scenario
- Actual plating run time: 410 min (held at the documented default)
- Planned plating production time: 480 min (held at the documented default)
- Line performance vs ideal cycle: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
- Coating first-pass yield: 98 % (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Availability = operating time รท planned production time.
- OEE works out to 56.92 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Availability works out to 85.42 % at these inputs.
- Performance works out to 68 % at these inputs.
- Quality works out to 98 % at these inputs.
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 28.42% below the baseline at 56.92 %.
- Use it for daily line reviews, before/after comparisons on improvement projects, or to benchmark shifts and lines. 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
- OEE: 56.92 % (headline result)
- Availability: 85.42 %
- Performance: 68 %
- Quality: 98 %
Run it with your numbers
- To rerun this with your own numbers, open the live Plating Line OEE calculator, set line performance vs ideal cycle to your actual value, and adjust the remaining inputs to match your operation.
