How to use

Select Raw shift data to derive the factors from production records, or Direct A/P/Q when validated percentages are already available.
Enter all visible inputs in the displayed units. Counts must be whole numbers; good count cannot exceed total count; direct factors must lie from 0% to 100%.
Select Calculate. Use Reset to restore the raw-mode worked example.
Read OEE as the fully productive share of planned production time. The waterfall allocates the remaining percentage points to availability, performance, and quality losses.
Correct any warning before using the result. Do not use this model to infer failure probability, equipment reliability, product safety, or financial return; verify cycle-time definitions and production boundaries locally.

Worked example

For 480 min planned time, 60 min downtime, 60 s/item ideal cycle, 400 total items, and 380 good items, the calculator gives A = 87.50%, P = 95.24%, Q = 95.00%, OEE = 79.17%, and 380 min fully productive time. The interpretation is that 79.17% of planned time produced good output at the ideal rate.

Equations used

Raw mode uses operating time OT = PPT − DT, availability A = OT / PPT, performance P = (ICT / 60)TC / OT, quality Q = GC / TC, and OEE = APQ. ICT is converted from seconds/item to minutes/item. Fully productive time is FPT = (ICT / 60)GC = OEE·PPT.

Losses are percentage-point shares of planned time: L_A = 1 − A, L_P = A(1 − P), and L_Q = AP(1 − Q). Their sum plus OEE equals 1, apart from floating-point display rounding. Direct mode uses entered A, P, and Q as dimensionless fractions after percent conversion.

Theory and method

OEE decomposes utilization of planned production time into mutually ordered availability, speed, and quality terms. PPT excludes planned shutdowns; downtime is measured only inside PPT; ideal cycle time must represent the fastest sustainable cycle for the same product-equivalent count; and quality counts only output accepted without rework. All time values must describe one consistent production period. Performance above 100% is rejected because it usually indicates an inconsistent ideal cycle time, count, or boundary.

OEE is a production-effectiveness KPI, not inherent reliability or availability by itself. Mixed products require defensible equivalent cycle times; overlapping stops, rework conventions, micro-stops, and planned exclusions must be standardized before comparison. The equations follow the widely used OEE factorization described by the OEE calculation reference. Use a validated site data standard for operational decisions.
