Initial Setup

  1. Create a new Driver Model called OEE
  2. Delete the sample nodes that are created as a sample
  3. Turn on Automatic Evaluation to ensure results are displayed as we build the driver model
  4. Drag a calculation node onto the driver model surface, and call it OEE
  5. Set the Unit of Measure from the properties grid to percent
  6. Drag three more calculation nodes to the right of the OEE node, and call them Availability, Performance and Quality and connect them to the input of the OEE calculation
  7. Set the units of measure for all these to percent, and set the values to 1 to start with
  8. Set the calculation of the OEE node to: [Availability] * [Performance] * [Quality]

The driver model should look as follows:

You will notice that all the nodes are calculations - this indicates that we need to break these nodes down further into their constituent parts until we finally get to the raw inputs. These raw inputs become the levers that we can play with to improve our OEE.
