How OEE is worked out

OEE is the standard measure, and it is the product of three factors rather than an average of them. That is why a shift can look busy and still score badly — 90% on each factor is 73% overall, not 90%.

OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality

Availability is run time divided by planned production time, where planned production time is the shift minus planned stops, and run time is that minus unplanned downtime. Planned stops are excluded on purpose: a scheduled break is not a fault.

Performance is the ideal cycle time multiplied by the total count, divided by run time. It is capped at 100% here, because a figure above 100% means the ideal cycle time is wrong rather than that the machine beat physics.

Quality is good count divided by total count. Reworked parts count as bad — they consumed capacity twice.

For context, 100% is perfect production, 85% is widely quoted as world class for discrete manufacturing, and 60% is common for a factory that has never measured it. The number matters far less than the trend and the reason behind each lost minute.
