How does Patch OEE determine the effective Production Norm?

The Production Norm (e.g. in Units/Hour) can be specified in the Patch OEE base administration at 5 different places. This article describes what the effective Production Norm is that Patch OEE uses for the OEE Speedloss calculations.

The Production Norm can be specified in the:

1. Product base administration: for a Product-Machine combination
2. Product base administration: for a Product
3. Product group base administration: for a Product group-Machine combination
4. Product group base administration: for a Product group
5. Machine base administration: for a Machine

Patch OEE determines the effective Production Norm by checking the base administration in the order as listed above and stops at the first Production Norm not empty. Or in other words, the most specific Production Norm is used.

Example 1: in case a Production Norm is specified for a certain Product group, Patch OEE uses that Production Norm unless a Production Norm is specified at the Product in that Product group. In that case, the Production Norm specified for that Product is used.

Example 2: in case a Production Norm is specified for a certain Product, Patch OEE uses that Production Norm unless a Production Norm is specified at the Product-Machine combination. In that case, the Production Norm specified at the Product-Machine combination is used.

Note: in cases where only Product and Product group are known, and not a Machine (e.g. when exporting Product Base data to Excel), all Machine-related steps listed above are skipped. Only step 2 and 4 remain, which may lead to an empty effective Production Norm in such reports or excel.

Patch OEE determines the effective Productivity Norm in the same way as the effective Production Norm described above.
