<Li> Using the examples given below: </Li> <Li> (Availability = 86.6%) * (Performance = 93%) * (Quality = 91.3%) = (OEE = 73.6%) </Li> <P> Alternatively, and often easier, OEE is calculated by dividing the minimum time needed to produce the parts under optimal conditions by the actual time needed to produce the parts . For example: </P> <Ul> <Li> Total Time: 8 hour shift or 28,800 seconds, producing 14,400 parts, or one part every 2 seconds . </Li> <Li> Fastest possible cycle time is 1.5 seconds, hence only 21,600 seconds would have been needed to produce the 14,400 parts . The remaining 7,200 seconds or 2 hours were lost . </Li> <Li> The OEE is now the 21,600 seconds divided by 28,800 seconds (same as minimal 1.5 seconds per part divided by 2 actual seconds per part), or 75% . </Li> </Ul>
