TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n Performance is the second OEE pillar, measuring actual cycle speed vs ideal speed. It captures two distinct loss types: speed losses (sustained underspeed) and micro-stops under 5 minutes. Performance is the largest hidden source of OEE loss because manual tracking misses both. Plants deploying real-time monitoring typically discover 5-15 Performance points they did not know they were losing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Performance is the second OEE pillar, calculated as (Total Count \u00d7 Ideal Cycle Time) divided by Run Time, capturing both slow cycles and brief stoppages under 5 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Performance is the second OEE pillar, measuring the ratio of actual cycle speed vs ideal cycle speed during run time.<\/strong><\/p>\n Performance captures two distinct loss types \u2014 speed losses and micro-stops \u2014 that look identical in the numbers but require very different countermeasures. Real-time monitoring is the only way to distinguish them.<\/strong><\/p>\n Performance = (Total Count \u00d7 Ideal Cycle Time) \u00f7 Run Time, expressed as a percentage.<\/strong><\/p>\n Equivalent: Performance = Actual Speed \u00f7 Ideal Speed. If ideal is 50 parts\/min and actual is 45, Performance = 90%.<\/p>\n Speed losses<\/strong> = equipment runs continuously but at less than ideal speed. Causes: worn equipment, bad input materials, operator preference for “comfortable” speed.<\/p>\n Micro-stops<\/strong> = brief stoppages under 5 minutes. Equipment is not running but operators don’t record it. Causes: jams, sensor faults, brief operator interventions.<\/p>\n Both look identical in Performance numbers. Speed losses require equipment\/material fixes; micro-stops require sensor-based detection + Pareto on causes.<\/p>\n Three reasons Performance is the largest hidden source of OEE loss:<\/strong><\/p>\n Plants deploying direct-sensor IoT monitoring typically reveal 5-15 Performance points they did not know they were losing.<\/p>\n Performance accuracy depends entirely on getting ideal cycle time right.<\/strong><\/p>\n Use the actual demonstrated best cycle, sustained for at least 1 hour, on your specific products.
