Rubber, Tires, Foam & Elastomer Manufacturing worked example
Rubber Line OEE at 68% cycle-rate performance: a worked example
This worked example runs the rubber line oee numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% cycle-rate performance instead of the typical 95%. Calculate OEE for Rubber, Tires, Foam & Elastomer Manufacturing from availability, performance, and quality to see how much of planned production time becomes good output.
The inputs for this scenario
- Actual press run time: 410 min (held at the documented default)
- Planned production time: 480 min (held at the documented default)
- Cycle-rate performance: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)
- First-pass quality 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 cycle-rate performance sits at 95% and the headline result is 79.52 %, this scenario comes in 28.42% below the baseline at 56.92 %.
- Use it for weekly line scorecards, before-and-after Kaizen comparisons, and identifying whether availability, speed or scrap is your biggest loss. 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.
