OEE benchmark Poland 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Poland, 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 Poland's own sector mix (GUS (Glowny Urzad Statystyczny)). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food, beverages, tobacco (C10-C12) | EUR 20,120 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 60–80% | 82% | Changeover & startup losses | 90% × 93% × 98% |
| Fabricated metal products (C25) | EUR 15,408 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |
| Rubber & plastics (C22) | EUR 10,616 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 55–70% | 80% | Minor stops | 88% × 90% × 97% |
| Motor vehicles (C29) | EUR 9,238 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 70–85% | 85% | Changeover & minor stops | 92% × 95% × 99.5% |
| Furniture & other manufacturing (C31-C32) | EUR 7,658 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |
Downtime cost calculator: Poland defaults

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Poland?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Poland's leading sectors the typical range is 45–85% 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 (GUS (Glowny Urzad Statystyczny), 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 Poland 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.
