To calculate the availability factor, subtract the downtime from the planned production time and divide the result by the planned production time:<\/p>\nAvailability = (Planned Production Time – Downtime) \/ Planned Production Time<\/h3>\n
Downtimes can be caused, for example, by machine failures, maintenance work or set-up times. Accordingly, a high availability factor means that the plant has actually used a large part of the planned production time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Performance<\/h2><\/div>The performance factor, also known as the speed factor, measures the actual production speed of a plant compared to its maximum possible speed. The performance factor is calculated by multiplying the units produced by the ideal cycle time and dividing the result by the actual operating time:<\/p>\n
Performance = (Units Produced \u00d7 Ideal Cycle Time) \/ Actual Uptime<\/h3>\n
Consequently, a high performance factor indicates that the system is operating close to its maximum possible speed. Therefore, if the performance factor is low, it means that there is room for improvement to increase production speed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Quality Rate<\/h2><\/div>Quality Score is the third major component of OEE and measures the proportion of high-quality units produced during the production period. The Quality Score is calculated by dividing the high-quality units by the total units produced:<\/p>\n
Quality = High Quality Units \/ Units Produced<\/h3>\n
A high quality score indicates that a large proportion of the units produced meet the quality standards. Therefore, a low quality score indicates that there are product quality issues that need to be addressed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
