Rubber, Tires, Foam & Elastomer Manufacturing worked example

Rubber Line OEE at 99% cycle-rate performance: a worked example

This scenario runs the rubber line oee calculation on the strong side: 99% cycle-rate performance, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it to benchmark line effectiveness and target the biggest loss in Rubber, Tires, Foam & Elastomer Manufacturing.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual press run time: 410 min (unchanged)
  • Planned production time: 480 min (unchanged)
  • Cycle-rate performance: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
  • First-pass quality yield: 98 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Availability = operating time รท planned production time) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 82.87 % for oee, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 85.42 % for availability.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for performance.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 98 % for quality.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cycle-rate performance sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 4.21% above the baseline at 82.87 %.
  • Use it for weekly line scorecards, before-and-after Kaizen comparisons, and identifying whether availability, speed or scrap is your biggest loss. 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

  • OEE: 82.87 % (headline result)
  • Availability: 85.42 %
  • Performance: 99 %
  • Quality: 98 %
