OEE(Overall Equipment Effectiveness)-Potential

$Availability\times Performance\times QualityAvailability=\frac{actualproductiontime}{possibleproductiontime}\times 100Performance=\frac{actualoutput}{possibleoutput}\times 100Quality=\frac{flawlessproducts}{a}$

Current estimated OEE:

• Availability = 77,82 %
• Performance = 72,98 %
• Quality = tbd

→ $77,82\%\times 72,98\%\times tbd=$

Target OEE:

• Availability = 77,82 %
• Performance = 72,98 %
• Quality = tbd + x%

→ $77,82\%\times 72,98\%\times tbd=$

TCO-Potential

$TCO=Acquisitioncosts+Personnelcosts{+}^{‴}Energycost{s}^{‴}+Maintenancecosts+Downtimecosts+Runningcosts(e.g.,trainingcourses)+Opportunitycosts+Costsforoperatingmaterial$

Saving potential energy costs:

• Forming process: The forming process accounts for approx. 9.4 % of the energy costs in the processes considered (packaging to forming).

Current estimated TCO:

• Current energy consumption of forming process: 15 Ah per 870 mAh cell

Target TCO:

• Reduction of energy consumption in the forming process by 20 % results in a reduction of total energy costs by approx. 2 % ($20\%\times 9.4\%$)

Material consumption per unit

Models can be used to estimate the amount of electrolyte required and to reduce it. In contrast to the active material, a greater potential for reduction is seen here, since the active material has a direct influence on the energy content of the cell.

Current electrolyte consumption:

• 4 ml per 870 mAh cell

Target electrolyte consumption:

• 3.5 ml per 870 mAh cell

Contributes to the reduction of production costs (not listed in OEE/TCO)

Energy consumption per unit

The energy consumption per unit can be reduced by optimizing the forming process.

Current energy consumption:

• 15 Ah per 870 mAh cell

Target energy consumption:

• 12 Ah per 870 mAh cell

Variable production costs

The variable production costs are composed of the energy, material, scrap and manufacturing costs.

Current variable production costs:

• 100%

Target variable production costs:

• 90%
