# Performance

Performance is one of the three OEE components and shows how fast a machine produces compared to its maximum speed.

{% hint style="info" %}
What performance means in the production context and how Maximum Demonstrated Speed (MDS) works is explained under [Performance (Concepts)](/en/concepts/performance.md).
{% endhint %}

## Setting up performance tracking

Performance tracking is configured as part of the OEE setup. There you define:

* Which variable is used as the **performance parameter**
* The **quantity and time units** for the calculation
* The **interval** for determining the Maximum Demonstrated Speed (MDS)

The step-by-step guide can be found under [Setting up OEE tracking](/en/production-optimization/oee.md#configuring-performance-recording).

## Adjusting the performance reference

By default, ENLYZE uses the automatically calculated MDS as the reference for evaluating a product's performance. You can manually override the reference:

1. Navigate to **Products** and select the desired product.
2. In the **Attributes** section, you'll find the current MDS and the **Performance reference** option.
3. Enter the desired reference value.

The manually set value is used as the benchmark for all orders of this product on the respective machine.

More details can be found under [Setup sheet](/en/production-optimization/setup-sheet.md#product-overview).

## Performance in the app

The performance KPI is shown in several places in the ENLYZE App:

* **Home screen**: The performance factor is shown per machine in the production overview.
* **Order details**: For each order, the achieved performance factor is displayed.
* **Product overview**: The performance distribution across all orders of a product is shown as a chart (see [Setup sheet](/en/production-optimization/setup-sheet.md#statistical-product-insights)).
