titleHow are the metrics on the Whiteboard calculated?

Here is a list of the most popular metrics on the Whiteboard:

  • OEE = Availability * Performance * Quality

    • Availability = Uptime / Planned Productive Time

    • Performance = ( Number of parts produced) / (Machine rate * Uptime)

    • Quality = [(Number of parts produced) - (Number of parts rejected)] / (Number of parts produced)

  • OEE = Availability * Performance * Quality Ratio

  • OEE = Good Production (pcs) / ( Expected speed (parts/hr) * Scheduled Time (hr) )
