Configuring KPIs¶
OEE calculation can be customized and therefore requires the possibility to modify existing OEE KPIs and formulas.
Before starting KPIs configuration, it is recommended to know about the preconfigured OEE Standard Formulas to understand all the formulas and an explanation of all expressions.
The table below defines KPIs, Auxiliaries, and Operands:
Name | Definition |
---|---|
Operand | Data that is either fetched from the IoT model or calendar entries |
Auxiliary | Mathematical function to calculate intermediate values |
KPI | Well-known functions |
All defined KPIs, Auxiliaries, and Operands that can be modified are listed in the table below. Here, the defaults are provided in case any of the formulas are wrongly configured:
Name | Type | Editable | Formula |
---|---|---|---|
OEE | KPI | Yes | ![]() |
Availability | KPI | Yes | ![]() |
Performance | KPI | Yes | ![]() |
Quality | KPI | Yes | ![]() |
TEEP | KPI | Yes | ![]() |
Availability Loss | Operand | Yes | Availability Loss (Operand) |
Performance Loss | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Quality Loss | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Good Parts | Operand/Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Rejected Parts | Operand/Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Total Parts | Operand/Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Total Time | Auxiliary | No | No Formula |
Planned Stops | Operand | Yes | Planned stops from shift plan (operand) |
Operational Time | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Net Production Time | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Net Operational Time | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Used Operational Time | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
Theoretical Output | Operand | Yes | Theoretical Output (Operand) |
Equipment Utilization | Auxiliary | Yes | ![]() |
User interface¶
The user interface of "KPIs" is as shown below:
① Navigates to the "Configuration" tab
② Opens a new screen to edit the selected KPI
③ Navigates to the next step
④ Displays the current step
Procedure¶
To modify the existing formulas, proceed as follows:
- From the navigation tab, click "Configuration" and select "KPIs".
- In "KPIs", click
next to the desired KPI to modify the details of the selected KPI.
- In the formula editor, change the formulas with the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
( | Open a bracket |
) | Close a bracket |
+ | Add another constant or operand |
- | Subtract another constant or operand |
* | Multiply another constant or operand |
/ | Divide another constant or operand |
Constant | Any decimal number, positive or negative |
Operand | Any entry from the provided dropdown list |
Example 1: Modifying the existing operands or constants formulas¶
To modify existing operands or constants in formulas, proceed as follows:
- In the formula field, select the operand and click
.
- Insert another constant or select a different operand, KPI, or auxiliary from the dropdown list.
- Modify the formula and it will be auto-saved.
Example 2: Adding the operations and constants or operands¶
To add further operations and constants or operands, proceed as follows:
- In the formula field, select one of the mathematical expressions “(,),+,-,*,/”.
- Click the “Constant” or “Operand” buttons.
Newly added operands or constants can be edited instantly. To change them later, select the operand or constant and then click .
Example 3: Delete constants or operands¶
To delete any operand, constant, or mathematical expression, proceed as follows:
- Select the item in the formula editor.
-
Click the
icon .
The application automatically validates if the formula is still in the proper format. If not, the following message is displayed:
Note
- If the formula is not in the proper format, the modifications will not be saved until the user resolves the issue.
- Once a bracket "(" is opened, it is required to close it with the following operation ")"
- Once any of the mathematical operators +, - ,* or / is added, it is required to add either an operand or constant afterward. Otherwise, the formula will not be saved.
- The changes will directly appear in the application.
