Put in your own numbers and see what the stops nobody records are taking away. The formula is in plain sight, no fine print.
This is an estimate built from your numbers, not a promise. What is certain: what is not measured cannot be reduced.
I want to measure my plantHow it is calculated
The units the machine would have produced in that time and did not. That is why the calculation starts from two figures you already know: how many units your machine puts out per hour and how much each unit leaves you.
Monthly loss = units per hour × profit per unit × hours of downtime per day × production days per month. The annual figure is that same number multiplied by 12. And what shows up as recoverable is the monthly loss multiplied by the reduction percentage you pick on the last slider.
Because the calculation multiplies by the production days in the month. A stop that looks minor within a shift —half an hour, forty minutes— becomes dozens of hours a month once it repeats every day. It is the same effect that makes short stops invisible when they are written down by hand at the end of the shift.
It leaves out wasted raw material, rework, overtime and missed deliveries. It only takes the production that did not happen, which is the part you can calculate with figures you already have at hand.
