Renewable Energy, Solar & Wind Manufacturing worked example

Solar Line OEE at 68% speed vs. rated laminator takt: a worked example

This worked example runs the solar line oee numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% speed vs. rated laminator takt instead of the typical 95%. Calculate OEE for Renewable Energy, Solar & Wind Manufacturing from availability, performance, and quality to see how much of planned production time becomes good output.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Line run time producing modules: 410 min (held at the documented default)
  • Scheduled module production window: 480 min (held at the documented default)
  • Speed vs. rated laminator takt: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
  • First-pass flash-test 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 speed vs. rated laminator takt sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 28.42% below the baseline at 56.92 %.
  • Use it at end-of-shift and end-of-week to trend line effectiveness and to isolate whether downtime, speed loss, or flash-test rejects are the biggest drag. 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 Solar Line OEE calculator, set speed vs. rated laminator takt to your actual value, and adjust the remaining inputs to match your operation.
