Production Capacity By Process Form

We can use the Production Capacity by Process Form to help determine production capacity in a work cell. As you can tell by all of the inputs, it take into account all items in a production work day, including lunches, setups, TPM, etc…

Some of the parts that need to be filled out are:

Max Output per shift – Base this number on the longest cycle time
Available production time per shift – Normally 435 – 450 minutes
Manual Time – all manual aspects of the process, including loading and unloading of the equipment
Machine time – The cycle time of the equipment
Time to complete – Add manual and machine times
Setup time – How long it took to setup the machine
Processing Capability per shift – Available production time / Time to complete

You can get a free copy of this form to use however you like.
