Methodology
How the planner calculates results
Available time
Shift time minus breaks, setup, and planned downtime, multiplied by the number of shifts.
Machine capacity
Effective machine time divided by cycle time, adjusted by the entered operating efficiency.
Labor capacity
Effective worker time divided by manual labor content per unit.
Overall capacity
The lower of machine capacity and labor capacity, because the most constrained resource governs output.
This planner is an estimating tool, not a substitute for a validated industrial engineering study. Results depend on the accuracy of the assumptions entered.
