Actual run time this week 5,696 minutes

Machine time available per week 6,400 minutes

Actual run rate this week 1.68 units per minute

Ideal run rate 2.00units per minute

Defect-free output this week 12,670 units

Total output this week (including defects) 18,100units

1) Computation of Utilization Rate:

Utilization Rate = Operating Time / Schedule Time

= 5,696/6,400

= 0.89

 

2) Computation of Efficiency Rate:

Efficiency Rate = Actual Run Rate / Ideal Run Rate

= 1.68/2

= 0.84

 

3) Computation of Quality Rate:

Quality Rate = Goods Unit Produced/Total Units Produced

= 12,670/18,100

= 0.70

 

4) Computation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE):

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) = Utilization Rate*Efficiency Rate*Quality Rate

= 0.89*0.84*0.70 

= 0.523
