A personnel break is not necessarily the same as a process break. If the process is expected to be running (i.e. producing anything at all) then regardless of whoever is or isn’t eating lunch, OEE considers the time to be part of planned production. On the other hand, in a multiple operator non-automated process, a different Ideal Run Rate may be applicable during the break.
