Production Ramp, Scale-Up & Launch Readiness worked example

Ramp OEE Target at 68% performance vs ideal cycle time: a worked example

This worked example runs the ramp oee target numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% performance vs ideal cycle time instead of the typical 95%. Calculate OEE for Production Ramp, Scale-Up & Launch Readiness from availability, performance, and quality to see how much of planned production time becomes good output.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual operating (run) time on the line: 410 min (held at the documented default)
  • Planned production time for the shift: 480 min (held at the documented default)
  • Performance vs ideal cycle time: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
  • Quality 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 performance vs ideal cycle time sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 28.42% below the baseline at 56.92 %.
  • Use it to set stage-gate OEE targets across a ramp and to diagnose whether availability, speed, or yield is the binding constraint each week. 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 %
