Term Definition
Target Speed The speed target for a product on a given line.
Average Speed The average speed of production during a run.
Good Output The amount of product output from a run. Sensor Count is used, but if Finished Goods were entered, then that is used.



Calculations

Formula Example
Time Lost Slow Running = ((1 / Average Speed) - (1 / Target Speed)) * Good Output

Given:

Average Speed = 5 unit/min

Target Speed = 10 unit/min

Good Output = 300 units

Computation:

= ((1/5) - (1 / 10)) * 300

= 0.1 * 300

= 30 min

Average Speed = Good Output / (Run Time - Downtime)

Given:

Good Output = 300 units

Run Time = 80 min

Downtime = 20 min

Computation:

= 300 / (80 - 20)

= 300 / 60

= 5 units/min
