Convert daily demand, shifts, planned hours and efficiency into a required packaging-line rate.
Convert demand into the average good-pack rate required during the effective scheduled time. Add controlled headroom when selecting equipment, but do not confuse maximum cycle speed with sustained output.
A line does not normally produce at its theoretical rate for every available minute. Use a measured or conservative expected efficiency.
Yes. Enter the net scheduled production hours or use an efficiency that transparently accounts for the expected losses.
No. It is the minimum average good-pack rate needed over the effective production time. Select equipment with evidence and controlled headroom.
