Estimate good packs per shift, day and year from sustained rate, shift time, planned stops and operating efficiency.
Use this calculator to convert a proven line rate into realistic capacity. Keep planned time, efficiency and quality assumptions consistent with the actual production schedule.
The repeatable good-output rate for the product and format, not a short peak or dry-cycle value.
Include planned breaks that stop the line, or exclude them from available shift time consistently.
Calculate each major product/format combination separately and combine them using the planned mix.
Material shortages, changeovers, rejects, cleaning, maintenance and upstream or downstream constraints may not be fully represented.
