Motor Line OEE at 68% motor line performance factor: a worked example

This worked example runs the motor line oee numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% motor line performance factor instead of the typical 95%. Estimate effective OEE for a motor line from uptime, planned production time, performance factor, and quality factor.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Motor line uptime: 420 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Planned production time: 480 hr (held at the documented default)
  • Motor line performance factor: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
  • Motor line quality factor: 98 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Motor line availability = motor line uptime รท planned production time.
  • Motor line OEE works out to 58.31 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Base availability works out to 87.5 % at these inputs.
  • Motor line performance factor works out to 68 % at these inputs.
  • Motor line quality factor works out to 98 % at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where motor line performance factor sits at 95% and the headline result is 81.46 %, this scenario comes in 28.42% below the baseline at 58.31 %.
  • Use it at end of shift or daily to benchmark a single motor assembly or winding line against its own history and against world-class targets. 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

  • Motor line OEE: 58.31 % (headline result)
  • Base availability: 87.5 %
  • Motor line performance factor: 68 %
  • Motor line quality factor: 98 %

Run it with your numbers

  • To rerun this with your own numbers, open the live Motor Line OEE calculator, set motor line performance factor to your actual value, and adjust the remaining inputs to match your operation.
