OEE Performance Rate

Performance Rate is one of the three elements of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), a Total Productive Maintenance measure. It measures operating speed losses, including running at speeds lower than design speed and stoppages lasting a few seconds. OEE multiplies availability, performance, and quality rates to express how effectively equipment is used.

Study notes

Performance Rate is the P term in OEE = A × P × Q, where A is Availability Rate and Q is Quality Rate.
The document's worked example uses A = 0.90, P = 0.95, and Q = 0.99, giving 0.846, stated as 84.6% OEE.
OEE typically focuses on six major losses: failures, adjustments, minor stoppages, reduced operating speeds, scrap, and rework.
Some companies add other measures judged important to their business to OEE.
The document refers to Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) as the see-also topic for OEE.
