How the roll-up gate works
This tool grades each production line's true OEE on the line's own numbers, with over-budget changeover booked as planned downtime put back into planned time. True OEE is Availability x Performance x Quality, with no weights, banded per line at 60% and 40%. A gate that can only make a line's verdict worse then reads the changeover minutes moved out of planned time. The plant verdict is its worst line, never the average.
The 7 lines
Any over-budget changeover booked as planned downtime (more than half a minute taken out of planned production time) makes the line read INFLATED however high its true OEE reads, until it is put back. Excluded micro-stops move loss between Availability and Performance and do not move OEE.
Why: Seven lines. Four read TRUE OEE AS DESCRIBED and Line 6 - Shrink Wrapper reads SOFT NUMBER at a true 48.9%. Two read INFLATED through the gate: Line 1 - Filler booked 25 minutes of over-budget changeover as planned downtime (reported 78.2%, true 74.3%) and Line 4 - Palletizer booked 45 minutes (reported 66.3%, true 60.6%). Both true numbers clear the 60% line. Line 1's 35 excluded micro-stop minutes move loss from Availability to Performance and do not move OEE. The plant takes its worst line and reads INFLATED REPORTING.
A true OEE above 60% didn’t clear either line. The gate reads where the minutes were booked, not how high the number is, and the plant verdict is the worst line. Where a line is inflated, the fix first row names it. Grades an equipment line's own numbers - a production-honesty aid, not an OEE-standard certification or a person's performance grade.
