Prerequisites to collecting OEE data

1. Create OEE traceability fields

Use the System Administration module to create five new traceability fields for raw OEE data:

  1. Select five consecutive traceability fields (for example, fields 7–11) that are not previously used.

  2. Assign a label to each of those traceability fields in this order:

You can change how these labels are worded, but they must represent these five raw data values and be entered in this order. For more information on these values, see New OEE traceability fields.

For detailed instructions on creating traceability labels, see Adding traceability field labels.

2. Change an OEE Statistic setting

Use the System Administration module to designate the first of these new traceability fields for special use as OEE data:

  1. In the System Administration module, navigate to this setting:

    Configurations tab | configuration name | Statistics | OEE | First of five traceability columns where OEE values are stored =

  2. Right-click the First of five traceability columns where OEE values are stored = setting, then choose the new Available Time traceability label.



    Then click OK.

Requirements for entering OEE Data

* The Available Time, Scheduled Time, and Ideal Cycle Time must all be entered with the same unit of time. Minutes are most common, but you can use Seconds, Hours, etc. - as long as you use the same unit consistently.
