OEE Calculator

Calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) — the gold standard for measuring manufacturing productivity. Get Availability, Performance, and Quality scores with Six Big Losses breakdown.

Six Big Losses

1. Equipment Failure (Availability)
Unplanned downtime due to breakdowns. Reduces availability.
2. Setup & Adjustments (Availability)
Time lost during changeovers and setups. Reduces availability.
3. Idling & Minor Stops (Performance)
Small stoppages under 10 minutes. Reduces performance.
4. Reduced Speed (Performance)
Running below ideal cycle time. Reduces performance.
5. Process Defects (Quality)
Defects produced during steady-state production.
6. Reduced Yield (Quality)
Startup/changeover scrap before reaching stable production.

Frequently Asked Questions

World class OEE is considered 85% or higher. A score of 60–75% is typical for manufacturing companies. Below 60% generally indicates significant improvement opportunities. Scores above 90% are rare and require exceptional process control.

OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Availability = Actual Run Time ÷ Planned Production Time. Performance = (Ideal Cycle Time × Total Parts) ÷ (Actual Run Time × 3600). Quality = Good Parts ÷ Total Parts.

OEE measures efficiency relative to planned production time. TEEP (Total Effective Equipment Performance) measures efficiency relative to all calendar time (24/7/365). TEEP = OEE × (Planned Time ÷ Calendar Time).

Identify your lowest scoring factor first. For low Availability: implement preventive maintenance and SMED. For low Performance: analyze minor stops and speed losses. For low Quality: root cause defects and improve process controls.
