Calculator
Estimate production time and potential pack capacity recovered by reducing changeover duration. The result assumes the line can use the recovered time at the entered stable rate.
Enter the production figures and select Calculate result.

Changeover Capacity and SMED Calculator
Estimate annual production time and capacity recovered by reducing packaging-line changeover time.
Questions about this calculator
Does recovered time equal extra sales?
No. It represents potential capacity. Demand, materials, staffing and the next constraint determine how much becomes additional saleable output.
What should be measured as changeover time?
Use a defined start and finish, commonly the last approved good pack to the first approved good pack of the next run.
Can safety steps be shortened?
Only through an approved engineering and risk-assessed change. Never remove isolation, guarding, line clearance or hygiene controls to improve the number.
