Site Configuration and Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE)
When you first create your company in CheckPoint™, the first level on the Welders tab is the Company Site.
Configuring your site’s Idle Time Threshold, Planned Arc Time Per Hour and Planned Downtime allows
CheckPoint™ to calculate your OEE values accurately. Table 4.2 explains the Site Definition section. Please
refer to Chapter 9 for in-depth details on OEE and how to establish your plant’s Planned Downtime.
