How are reworked pieces counted in the OEE calculation?
Reworked pieces are typically looked at as a completely independent OEE process. It is taken into consideration that time and materials were used in the first pass run that resulted in a part or product that did not meet quality standards but where a part of some value exists. Where the original Ideal Cycle Time may have been 180 seconds, a rework Ideal Cycle Time may be only 26 seconds, for example.
