Target = operators × hours × 60 × planned efficiency ÷ SMV.
Hourly / line = Operators × 60 × Efficiency% ÷ SMV
How it works
Daily Production Calculator
Set realistic daily targets and see how many working days the order needs.
Calculate each line's daily output and divide the order quantity by the combined output.
Formula
The formula, in full
- Hourly / line
- Operators × 60 × Efficiency% ÷ SMV
- Daily / line
- Hourly × Hours
- Days
- Order qty ÷ (Daily / line × Lines)
Example
10,000 shirts on 2 lines
- 01Daily / line = 524 pcs
- 02Total = 1,047 pcs/day
- 03Days = 10 working days
