01
Record the production window
Select an asset and identify the date and run or shift. Enter planned production time and actual running time in minutes, with ideal cycle time in seconds per unit.
OEE software and production records
Keep the source record behind every OEE percentage.
Calculate OEE from production times and counts, save runs against equipment and review availability, performance and quality separately.

Where the handoff breaks
A single OEE number can hide a time-unit error, a questionable ideal cycle time or a loss in good output. PreventiveHQ keeps planned time, running time, ideal cycle seconds, total units and good units with the production record so each factor can be reviewed.
The working customer workflow
02
Separate output from good output
Enter total and good units. Good units cannot exceed the total and running time cannot exceed planned time. Produced units require recorded running time.
03
Review all three factors
Availability uses running time divided by planned time. Performance compares ideal production time with actual running time. Quality uses good units divided by total units. The resulting OEE reflects effective good output over planned time.
04
Retain corrections and evidence
Save the run and filter its history. The summary combines effective good-production time over planned time across all filtered runs, excluding voids. Export a displayed page or every workspace production record. Void mistakes with a reason and retain the original evidence.
When this fits
Use this workflow when you can supply production time and count records and want the result close to equipment and maintenance history. Review changes in each factor before deciding which maintenance or operating action to take.
Current scope
Performance above 100% is flagged for review and is not silently capped. With no production, quality is unavailable and OEE is zero. OEE is different from MTBF and MTTR. Automatic machine data collection and production-system connectors are not included in this manual-record workflow.
Verify it against one real workflow
Run the public calculator using the sample shift, then your own data. In a trial, save a production record and verify that the stored source values reproduce the result.
