Total Effective Equipment Performance

Total Effective Equipment Performance, or TEEP, measures equipment effectiveness across total calendar time by combining utilization with OEE.

What this term means in maintenance

Total Effective Equipment Performance, or TEEP, measures equipment effectiveness across total calendar time by combining utilization with OEE.

Basic formula

TEEP = Utilization × OEE

It can also be expressed as:

TEEP = Availability × Performance × Quality × Utilization

Practical example

If utilization is 80% and OEE is 75%:

TEEP = 60%

TEEP versus OEE

OEE measures effectiveness during planned production time.

TEEP expands the view to all calendar time.

Use of TEEP

It helps evaluate hidden capacity, shift expansion, capital need, and total asset use.

Common mistake

Low TEEP does not automatically indicate poor maintenance because unused calendar time may be intentional.

How this term differs

Total Effective Equipment Performance is OEE expanded by utilization to total calendar time. It is related to Overall Equipment Effectiveness, Performance Rate, and Quality Rate, but these terms describe different records, measures, roles, strategies, or decisions and should not be used interchangeably.
