What OEE is considered good?

85% is the world-class benchmark. 60% is typical for many manufacturers; below 40% indicates major losses and large improvement opportunity.

Does Azuvio calculate OEE?

Azuvio integrates the relevant data and surfaces it in BI, but raw OEE comes from production systems (MES/SCADA). Azuvio adds the order and stock context.

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

Quick answer: The production efficiency metric: availability × performance × quality, expressed as a percentage.

Key takeaways

Availability — stoppages, changeovers, breakdowns
Performance — micro-stops, reduced speed
Quality — scrap, rework

What OEE is

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) measures how efficiently a machine or production line is used. It is the product of three factors: Availability (how long it ran) × Performance (how fast versus nominal) × Quality (how many good units out of total).

Why it matters to the board

OEE condenses production health into a single number. 85% OEE is considered world-class; many plants run at 40-60% without knowing, losing invisible capacity equal to a whole line.

The three losses

Availability — stoppages, changeovers, breakdowns

Performance — micro-stops, reduced speed

Quality — scrap, rework

How Azuvio helps

Azuvio doesn't replace the MES, but ties production data to orders and stock: better run planning, fewer needless changeovers and BI visibility into the factors eroding OEE.
