Technical Briefs
Reference material on how ProAlert measures the plant floor. These are methodology documents, not product sheets... written for the people who have to defend the numbers in a review meeting.
Measurement and Metrics
How a metric is calculated determines whether anyone acts on it. The brief below documents exactly where each input comes from, what starts and stops each clock, and which time window the math runs against. The sandbox lets you prove it to yourself on a simulated shift.
How ProAlert Measures OEE Availability
Where the Availability inputs come from, how the downtime clock starts and stops, which time window the calculation runs against, and how an extended stoppage with an early shift release is accounted for. Includes a worked example and a glossary.
OEE Sandbox: Build a Shift and Watch It Score
A simulated shift you can take apart. Drag runs and downtime calls, add scrap, stretch the schedule, and watch Availability, Performance, Quality and OEE move together. Press Show me for a guided walkthrough that drives it for you.
