Pultrusion & Continuous Composite Profiles worked example

Line OEE at 99% performance factor: a worked example in pultrusion & continuous composite profiles

This scenario runs the line oee calculation on the strong side: 99% performance factor, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when line oee in pultrusion and continuous composite profiles is being reviewed for OEE or asset utilization in pultrusion and continuous composite profiles.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual line running time: 420 hr (unchanged)
  • Planned production time: 480 hr (unchanged)
  • Performance factor (actual vs rated pull speed): 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
  • Quality factor (first-pass good profile): 98 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Line OEE = operating time รท planned time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 84.89 % for effective availability, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 87.5 % for base availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for performance factor.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for quality factor.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where performance factor sits at 95% and the headline result is 81.46 %, this scenario comes in 4.21% above the baseline at 84.89 %.
  • Use it for shift or weekly line reviews, before-and-after checks on a changeover-reduction project, or to compare effectiveness across multiple pultrusion 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

  • Effective availability: 84.89 % (headline result)
  • Base availability: 87.5 %
  • Performance factor: 99 %
  • Quality factor: 98 %
