An open benchmark collecting anonymous OEE figures from manufacturers. Built from contributions from the field — not a textbook figure from 1988.
The established reference says: world-class OEE is 85%, and many manufacturers sit around 60%. But that is a global textbook figure. The OEE Index shows what actually applies in manufacturing.
85%
World class
The global benchmark most companies aim for.
~60%
Typical level
Where many manufacturers actually sit.

A figure is shown as soon as there are at least 5 contributions in a category — both for statistical meaning and to ensure no single contribution can be derived. Help build the benchmark: it takes 30 seconds and is completely anonymous.

The figures are updated continuously as more contribute. A benchmark is only as good as its data basis — which is why it grows with every contribution.
Calculate your OEE in the calculator and send your three numbers with one click. We store only the industry and the three factors — no name, no company, no IP. Completely anonymous, completely voluntary.
The more who contribute, the sharper the picture of manufacturing becomes — to everyone’s benefit.
The internationally established reference is that world-class OEE is about 85% (Nakajima, Introduction to TPM, 1988), while many manufacturers sit around 60%. The OEE Index collects anonymous, real figures from manufacturers and shows a median figure as the contributions accumulate.
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Availability is the share of planned time the equipment actually runs; Performance is the real speed against the ideal speed; Quality is the share of good parts. The three are multiplied together, so 90% × 95% × 99.9% ≈ 85%.
Availability is hit by breakdowns and changeovers; Performance by micro-stops and reduced speed; Quality by scrap and rework. Separating them shows where the capacity is really lost — and thus where there is most to gain.
Yes. We store only the industry and the three OEE factors — no name, company or IP. A figure is shown only when there are enough contributions, both for statistical meaning and for anonymity.
