Tube, Pipe & Profile Forming worked example
Line OEE at 99% speed performance factor: a worked example in tube, pipe & profile forming
What does the result look like when speed performance factor reaches 99%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when line oee in tube, pipe and profile forming is being reviewed for OEE or asset utilization in tube, pipe and profile forming.
The inputs for this scenario
- Actual forming run time: 420 hr (unchanged)
- Planned production time: 480 hr (unchanged)
- Speed performance factor: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
- First-pass quality factor: 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 speed performance factor sits at 95% and the headline result is 81.46 %, this scenario comes in 4.21% above the baseline at 84.89 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when speed performance factor is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Garbage-in applies: if planned time excludes scheduled breaks inconsistently, or performance is guessed rather than measured against rated speed, the OEE will be flattering.
