OEE benchmark Colombia 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Colombia, the OEE ranges that apply to its leading sectors, a downtime-cost calculator preloaded with national labour and energy costs, and the incentives that can fund a monitoring project.
Key figures
Leading sectors and the OEE ranges that apply
The first columns are Colombia's own sector mix (DANE). The OEE columns are the oee-benchmark.org editorial ranges for that sector type: they are benchmarks for plants, not national statistics.
| Sector | Weight | Typical OEE | World-class target | Dominant loss | A × P × Q |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Productos de la refinación del petróleo | 20.3% of producción bruta (2024) | 80–92% | 92% | Unplanned stops | 95% × 97% × 99.5% |
| Otros productos químicos | 7.5% of producción bruta; 9.8% of valor agregado (2024) | 80–92% | 92% | Unplanned stops | 95% × 97% × 99.5% |
| Elaboración de bebidas | 5.2% of producción bruta; 9.7% of valor agregado (2024) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
| Procesamiento y conservación de carne, pescado | 5.4% of producción bruta (2024) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
Downtime cost calculator: Colombia defaults

Programmes a production-monitoring or OEE project can use. Status was checked on the operator's page in October 2026; anything we could not confirm is marked unverified.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Colombia?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Colombia's leading sectors the typical range is 60–92% 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 (DANE, 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 Colombia 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.
