OEE
68.75%
Classification
Good — typical for discrete manufacturing
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter Planned Production Time (min), Actual Run Time (min), and Ideal Cycle Time (sec).
- Set Total Units Produced and Good Units (First Pass).
- Review OEE (%) and Classification.
- Use Availability (%) and Performance (%) to inform your decision.
- Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.
How the result changes with Planned Production Time (min)
| Planned Production Time (min) | OEE | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| 145 | 94.29% | World Class |
| 505 | 65.35% | Good — typical for discrete manufacturing |
| 936 | 35.26% | Poor — significant losses to address |
| 1,296 | 25.46% | Poor — significant losses to address |
What each input means
- Planned Production Time (min)
- Total scheduled production time in minutes (e.g., 480 = 8-hour shift).
- Actual Run Time (min)
- Actual time the equipment was running. Planned time minus unplanned stops and changeovers.
- Ideal Cycle Time (sec)
- Theoretical fastest time to produce one unit in seconds.
- Total Units Produced
- Total number of units produced including both good and defective units.
- Good Units (First Pass)
- Number of units that passed quality inspection on the first attempt.
