How it works
Availability, performance and quality percentages are multiplied as separate fractions. This form solves for overall equipment effectiveness; enter the known quantities in Availability, Performance, Quality rate.
Inputs and units
| Input | Example value | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | 90 % | Formula symbol: a. Enter the percentage as a number: for 15%, enter 15. Must be greater than zero. Allowed range: 0.001–100. |
| Performance | 80 % | Formula symbol: p. Enter the percentage as a number: for 15%, enter 15. Must be greater than zero. Allowed range: 0.001–100. |
| Quality rate | 100 % | Formula symbol: q. Enter the percentage as a number: for 15%, enter 15. Must be greater than zero. Allowed range: 0.001–100. |

The result solves for overall equipment effectiveness from the entered quantities. Check the result unit and the formula conditions before using it.
Questions and answers
Can I use the example values for my own calculation?
The example values illustrate the calculation. Replace every input with your own information, especially dates, rates and the selected operation.
When can I use the overall equipment effectiveness result?
All three rates need the same period and equipment scope. The tool does not collect downtime, ideal cycle or defect data automatically.
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
