Use the form below to evaluate uptime, output quality, delivery reliability, cost control, and continuous improvement performance.

Planned Production Hours

Total scheduled time available for productive work.

Actual Runtime Hours

Time when the process was actively producing.

Downtime Hours

Enter downtime for context and process review.

Ideal Cycle Time per Unit (minutes)

Best-achievable time required to produce one unit.

Total Units Produced

All units produced during the reporting period.

Good Units

Units accepted without defect or rejection.

Rework Units

Units needing correction before release.

Actual Operating Cost ($)

Observed spend for the measured period.

Budgeted Cost ($)

Planned cost target used for comparison.

Total Orders

Total customer or internal deliveries due.

On-Time Orders

Orders delivered on or before the promise date.

Safety Incidents

Count recordable operating or safety incidents.

Total Improvement Suggestions

Ideas submitted during the review period.

Example Data Table

This sample shows one realistic operating snapshot and the kind of output the calculator can summarize.

Planned Hours	Runtime Hours	Total Units	Good Units	Operating Cost	On-Time Orders	OEE	OE Index
8.0	7.2	210	198	$4,850	54 / 60	80.19%	84.16%
10.0	8.7	320	307	$7,400	88 / 95	83.69%	86.67%

Formula Used

Availability (%) = Runtime Hours ÷ Planned Production Hours × 100
Performance (%) = Ideal Cycle Time × Total Units ÷ Runtime Minutes × 100
Quality (%) = Good Units ÷ Total Units × 100
OEE (%) = Availability × Performance × Quality using decimal values

Defect Rate (%) = (Total Units − Good Units) ÷ Total Units × 100
On-Time Delivery (%) = On-Time Orders ÷ Total Orders × 100
Cost Score (%) = Budgeted Cost ÷ Actual Cost × 100
Operational Excellence Index (%) = 0.40×OEE + 0.20×Delivery + 0.15×Cost Score + 0.15×Kaizen Rate + 0.10×Safety Score

Safety Score in this page is modeled as 100 minus 5 points per incident, then limited between 0 and 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does this calculator measure?

It measures core operating performance using availability, performance, quality, delivery, cost control, safety, and improvement execution in one page.

2. What is Operational Excellence Index?

It is a weighted summary score that combines OEE, on-time delivery, cost score, kaizen implementation rate, and safety score into one benchmark.

3. Why can performance exceed 100%?

That usually means the ideal cycle time is too slow, runtime is understated, or total production is overstated. Recheck the source values.

4. Is downtime directly used in the formulas?

Downtime is not directly multiplied in the current formulas, but it supports validation, context, and root-cause review alongside runtime and planned hours.

5. What is a good OEE score?

Many teams view 85% as a strong benchmark, but suitable targets depend on product mix, maintenance strategy, demand patterns, and process maturity.

6. How should I interpret cost score?

A score near or above 100% indicates spending is at or below budget. Lower values show cost pressure and merit investigation.

7. Can I use this for services or office workflows?

Yes. Replace units with completed tasks, cycle time with average service time, and orders with committed deliverables or tickets.

8. Why export results to CSV or PDF?

Exports help teams share results during reviews, archive monthly snapshots, compare periods, and attach evidence to improvement plans.
