OEE benchmark Czechia 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Czechia, 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 Czechia's own sector mix (CZSO (Cesky statisticky urad)). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motor vehicles (C29) | EUR 13,207 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 70–85% | 85% | Changeover & minor stops | 92% × 95% × 99.5% |
| Fabricated metal products (C25) | EUR 7,889 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |
| Electrical equipment (C27) | EUR 5,796 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 75–90% | 88% | Reduced speed & defects | 93% × 96% × 99% |
| Machinery and equipment n.e.c. (C28) | EUR 5,787 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |
| Food, beverages, tobacco (C10-C12) | EUR 5,765 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
Downtime cost calculator: Czechia defaults

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Czechia?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Czechia's leading sectors the typical range is 45–90% 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 (CZSO (Cesky statisticky urad), 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 Czechia 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.
