Traditional OEE methodologies focus on asset in plant use; but nontraditional methodologies can
be applied to a broad spectrum of reliability instances where information can be obtained. This
would be done by changing the (8 big losses, column) to measurable losses/defects or cause
failures. (Ex. Fleet Operations: by changing “setup” to “vandalism”, and “#7” from startup losses
to on-road hazards Etc.) (See graphic above)
SAMPLE CALCULATION
An example of the OEE percentage calculation based on OEE data for one day (24 hours) for
Machine D operation is shown in Table 1 on the following page.
Table 1. Example Calculation of OEE
Components Data Comments
Total available time 24 hours 24 hours in one day
Idle time 8 hours Not required eight hours per day
Scheduled downtime
No production, breaks, shift change, etc. 0.66 hours Meeting & shift change
Planned maintenance 1.00 hours Monthly PM
Total scheduled downtime 1.66 hours
Unscheduled downtime
Waiting for operator 0.46 hours Operator distracted, on other tasks
Failure or breakdowns 0.33 hours Mechanical drive coupling
Set-ups & changeover 0.26 hours Two size changes
Tooling or part changes 0.23 hours Screw station bits
Startup & adjustment 0.30 hours First shift Monday
Input material flow 0.50 hours Waiting for raw materials
Total unscheduled downtime 2.08 hours
Total downtime (scheduled + unscheduled) 3.74 hours 1.66 + 2.08 = 3.74 hours
Uptime 12.26 hours (24 – 8) – 3.74 = 12.26 hours
Availability 76.63% 12.26 / (24-8) x 100 = 76.63%
