Configure the OEE data default settings for an entity

If OEE data can be captured for the entity, you specify the entity’s OEE data default settings, described below, on the OEE tab.

For an explanation of how these settings are used, see Understand production.

• Default Production Rate

  Required. The default production rate for the entity.

  Note: The default production rate must be greater than 0. An entry of 0 will cause an error.

• Default Production UOM

  The default unit of measure for the production rate. The default is hours/batch.

• Default Batch Size

  If using batches during production, enter the default batch size. The default is 1.

  Note: The batch size cannot be 0. If 0 is entered, it is automatically changed to the default value 1.

  This setting is used when determining the line’s production rate. For additional information about how batch size affects OEE results, see Understand batches and lots for OEE.

  The decimal place resolution of the batch size is controlled by the system parameter Maximum number of decimals for batch entry. For information about setting this parameter, see the MES Client User Guide or online help.

• Default Standard Item

  The default standard item that is used for the entity when the system is determining a comparable production rate unit of measure for the different entities in the line.

  Note: A default standard item must be configured for any entity that will be set as a production source for the line or that can be or is manually set to be the bottleneck for the line.

  To select a standard item from a list of available items, click Configure and then click the item.

  Note: To filter the item list in the item selection side sheet, see Filter item lists.

• Target OEE %, Target Perf %, Target Qual %

  The target setpoints for KPI OEE, Performance, and Quality. These values are indicated on the KPI gauges by a tick mark at the outer edge of the gauge's color band. See View entity OEE KPI gauges.
