I recently explained the basics of using the Perspective Equipment Schedule in this post:

Equipment Schedule Example

Reviewing the Vision Equipment Schedule is actually not a bad idea to help understand the Perspective component. Due to how Vision properties are stored in datasets, it is potentially easier to review the User Manual page for the Vision datasets that mirror the available features in the Perspective component - Vision - Equipment Schedule | Ignition User Manual These tables may be easier to review, and the Vision component comes with example data. Going back to Perspective, with the understandi…

Monthly OEE to me indicates you have some data already that can be used to define the availability of the devices and are interested in having it tracked in the component. I think it's worth noting there is no correct way to use the component for OEE. The dashboard would likely include more than this component. The minimum properties you use in the component are items and scheduledEvents.

So to use the component you would need to have ranges of time stored in the database that represent either up-time, or specific events that you are expecting related to the production process or devices. For OEE specifically, you'd likely take advantage of the downtimeEvents property to signify any time the device should have been running but wasn't.

You could potentially represent performance using the percentDone, where a completed bar at the bottom of the up-time or event translates to 100% performance.

I am not sure how one would visualize quality especially if there is a time lag between the process and quality information being returned. You could potentially use the leadTime as a static color indicator rather than it's original purpose, and change between good and bad colors to represent general quality during events.
