Get Your Overall Equipment Effectiveness Score in 30 Seconds—And Start Reducing Downtime

Unplanned downtime costs industrial manufacturers over $50 billion a year, with an average loss of $260,000 per hour.

What Is OEE—and Why It Matters

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) measures how efficiently your operation turns planned production time into actual output. A score of 100% means zero waste: only good parts, produced fast, with no downtime. It’s a powerful metric for benchmarking performance across shifts, machines, or facilities—and even more useful as a baseline to track and improve productivity over time.

Here is Why Tracking OEE Is Critical

42% Percent

of unplanned downtime is due to equipment failure

800 Hours

Manufacturers lose over that many hours of production annually due to unplanned downtime.

30–50 Percent

of downtime can be prevented with proactive maintenance and can extend equipment life by up to 40%

Most of Loss Production? Preventable.

Sumitomo Drive Technologies’ OEE Calculator helps you quickly measure where your operation stands on availability, performance, and quality—so you can find the gaps and start improving productivity.
