Free OEE Calculator · Step 1 of 3

Calculate your OEE, and see where it leaks.

Two calculators on one page. The classic ISO 22400-2 method needs an ideal cycle time; the MachineWise method needs only what a machine can tell you. Both price every loss in rupees.

Method 1 · Classic OEE

The textbook calculation.

Availability × Performance × Quality, with performance measured against an ideal cycle time. This is the formulation defined in ISO 22400-2, and the basis of the widely quoted world-class benchmark.

One shift, one machine

USE YESTERDAY'S NUMBERS IF YOU HAVE THEM
Ideal cycle time is the fastest the machine has ever demonstrably run that part — not the quoted rate, and not the average.

Method (ISO 22400-2): Availability = run time ÷ planned production time. Performance = (total parts × ideal cycle) ÷ run time. Quality = good parts ÷ total parts. Losses are converted at your machine hourly rate. This is one machine on one shift — MachineWise computes the same three factors continuously across every machine on your floor, with each stop already attributed to a reason.

Method 2 · MachineWise OEE

The calculation a machine can actually answer.

This is the MachineWise variant, not the ISO 22400-2 definition. No ideal cycle time, no standards to maintain. Every input here is something MachineWise measures directly from the machine — which is why it survives short batches, mixed part numbers and long-cycle work that break the textbook method.

Availability loss — machine not powered on–
Performance loss — on, but not in cut–
Quality loss — time spent on rejects–
Fully productive time–

Reporting time = gross period − known breaks. Availability = machine on-time ÷ reporting time. Performance = productive (in-cut) time ÷ machine on-time. Quality = approved parts ÷ parts produced. The three losses plus fully productive time always add back to the reporting time exactly — no unattributed remainder.

Which one should you use

Same three factors. Different question.

USE CLASSIC WHEN

You run long, stable batches of one part

High volume, a well-maintained standard cycle time, and a genuine need to compare against the 85% world-class benchmark or a customer's OEE clause. Classic performance catches a machine running below its rated speed — the MachineWise method will not.

USE MACHINEWISE WHEN

Your floor is job-shop reality

Short batches, many part numbers in one shift, long-cycle work, or standards that were last updated years ago. It needs no ideal cycle time, so it cannot be gamed by an optimistic standard — and it works from day one, on every machine, without setup.

READ BOTH

They answer different questions

Classic asks how fast. MachineWise asks how much of the paid-for time actually made parts. A machine can score 100% MachineWise performance while cutting slowly — which is exactly why the two numbers are worth seeing side by side.

We publish both because pretending one number fits every floor is how OEE lost its credibility in the first place. When citing either figure externally — to a customer or an auditor — state which definition you used.

Step 1Of three: diagnose, quantify, justify
The method

How the number is worked out.

Availability

Run time ÷ planned time

Planned production time minus downtime, as a share of planned time. Breaks and planned stops are excluded before you start.

Performance

(Parts × ideal cycle) ÷ run time

How close the machine ran to its ideal speed while it was running. Minor stops and slow cycles live here.

Quality

Good parts ÷ total parts

First-pass good output. Scrap and rework both count as loss.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is the OEE formula?
OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Availability is run time over planned time, Performance is (parts × ideal cycle time) over run time, and Quality is good parts over total parts.
What is a good OEE score?
85% is often quoted as world class, but it assumes stable, high-volume production. Most job shops measured automatically start well below it. See what is a good OEE.
Why are there two OEE calculators?
The classic method needs a maintained ideal cycle time for every part. The MachineWise method uses only measured machine time, so it works on short, mixed and long-cycle batches. It is disclosed as a variant and not compared with ISO benchmarks.
Why is my OEE above 100%?
Almost always because the ideal cycle time is set slower than the machine really runs. Fix the standard and the number becomes meaningful.
Can OEE be calculated automatically?
Yes. MachineWise OEE computes it live from machine signals, with every stop timestamped and no operator data entry for availability and performance.
