    How do I compare two identical lines side by side in the report?

    We have two injection molding lines that are the same model and run the same products, but Line 2 consistently produces less. Management asked me for a comparison: OEE, availability, performance, quality and the main downtime reasons, for the last month.
    At the moment I run the "By machine & time" report twice and copy the numbers into Excel. It works, but averaging the daily percentages gives me results that don't match the monthly OEE on the dashboard. Is there a better way to compare lines directly in the web version?

      Yes, the report page has a dedicated view for this.
      Steps
      1. Open REPORT and select both lines under MACHINES. You can select at most 4 machines.
      2. Choose the date range for the last month.
      3. In Report view, select Machine Comparison. At least 2 machines must be selected for this view.
      4. Click Get Report.
      What you get
      - KPI Comparison: a table with the main metrics per machine. Green marks the best value and red the worst.
      - OEE Components: Availability, Performance and Quality per machine in a chart.
      - Trend Over Time: the chosen metric over the period, so you can see whether the gap is constant or started at a certain date.
      - Downtime Comparison: total downtime, downtime count, planned, unplanned and unspecified downtime, and the top downtime reason per machine.
      Why your Excel numbers differ
      Averaging daily percentages gives every day the same weight, even a short day. The comparison view recomputes the values from the raw components summed over the period (planned time, running time, ideal, produced and accepted quantity), so percentages are not averaged. This is the same approach used for weekly and monthly values on the dashboard.
      You can export the result as PDF, CSV or XLS for your presentation. If "Unspecified downtime" is large on one line, assign reasons to those downtimes first, otherwise the downtime comparison will be incomplete.
