Capacity formula

First remove known losses from the shift. Then apply the efficiency factor to the remaining production time.

Capacity = rate × lines × net hours × efficiency

Plan with a realistic number

  • Rated speed is the output when the equipment is running normally.
  • Planned losses remove time that cannot produce.
  • Efficiency accounts for smaller stops, speed loss and normal variation.
  • Compare demand with daily capacity before promising the schedule.
