Our Quantities report measures your production output and helps keep track of the total quantity produced and what your quality was during the selected time period. The collected information can be viewed from very different angles based on the selections you make for x-axis and the filters.

Quality is simply the proportion of actual production throughput which meets the customer’s specification and is right the first time. Quality losses fall into two – production scrap and start-up scrap.

What does the Quantities chart show?

The Quantities chart visualizes how production output has changed over time and helps you understand if what you are doing is helping increase output or not. The visualization of production output over time also helps to identify how seasonality affects your output and whether there are any patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed.

In addition to visualizing good quantity and scrap, we are also showing the potential on the chart. Meaning that the grey area represents the difference between ideal production (produced at ideal speed) and actual total production, indicating how much could have been produced in “ideal” conditions.

What production data is displayed in the Quantities data table?

The data table in the Quantities report gives you information about the scrap, good quantity, total quantity, what could have been produced (ideal quantity) and what was the potential in addition to produced good quantity. For scrap and good quantity there is also the percentage, showing the proportion of each (from total).

• Ideal quantity is the quantity that would have been possible to be produced if there was not any speed loss, unplanned downtime and planned downtime that is included in the OEE calculation.
• Potential = Ideal quantity - Good quantity.
