OEE benchmark Slovakia 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Slovakia, 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 Slovakia's own sector mix (Statisticky urad SR). 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 4,578 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 70–85% | 85% | Changeover & minor stops | 92% × 95% × 99.5% |
| Fabricated metal products (C25) | EUR 2,802 m GVA (current prices) (2023) | 45–65% | 78% | Setup & idling | 85% × 88% × 96% |

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Slovakia?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Slovakia'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 (Statisticky urad SR, 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 Slovakia 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.
