Editor's note

Chile's manufacturing is 9.4% of GDP, the smallest share in this dataset, reflecting the weight of mining. CORFO programmes could not be verified for 2026. Enter your own cost inputs; OEE is used as 'eficiencia general de los equipos'.

How to use this benchmark

Measure first. Log availability, performance and quality per line for four weeks before comparing with the sector ranges; a benchmark without your own baseline is a guess.
Compare within your sector, not with the national average. A packaging line at 72% may be world-class; a bottling line at 72% has room.
Price the gap. Use the calculator with your own labour cost and margin, then check the incentives table: several programmes fund the sensors and software that close it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good OEE in Chile?

There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Chile's leading sectors the typical range is 60–85% and the world-class targets are listed above. Most plants that start measuring sit near 60%.

Where do these figures come from?

Manufacturing weight, employment, labour cost, energy price and robot density come from official statistics (INE, Eurostat, the World Bank and the IFR); every figure links to the page it was read from. The OEE ranges are oee-benchmark.org editorial benchmarks.

What is in the Chile benchmark pack?

An Excel workbook with the country profile and sources, the hub table, the sector OEE ranges, a downtime-cost calculator with the national defaults already filled in, and the incentives and events lists. It is free; we ask for a work email.
