Step 1 of 4
Step 1 of 4 · Machine / Line

Which machine or line are you analyzing?

Name the specific asset — this keeps your result and analysis targeted to one line, not averaged across the plant.

Please fill in both fields to continue.
Step 2 of 4 · Working Schedule

What is the working schedule for this line?

This sets the total available production hours per month — the baseline for calculating downtime impact.

Please select one option in each column.
Step 3 of 4 · Availability

What is the average uptime of this machine or line?

Uptime = % of scheduled hours the machine is actually running. Not sure? Use your best estimate — even a rough number gives useful results.

Please select or enter your uptime percentage.
Step 4 of 4 · Production Value

How do you want to value the production on this line?

Choose the approach that best fits what you know. You can always estimate — a directional number is more useful than no number.

I know my product value
Enter the production rate (units/hr) and value per unit — I'll calculate the hourly cost.
I know my hourly cost
Enter the direct cost per hour — burn rate, margin loss, or cost per hour of downtime.
Help me calculate it
Answer 3 quick questions about your team and industry — I'll estimate the hourly cost using labor as a base.
Please select one of the options above.
Step 4 of 4 · Product Value

Production rate and unit value

For — enter figures for normal operating conditions.

Please fill in both fields.
Step 4 of 4 · Hourly Cost

What is the hourly production cost for this line?

For — this is the value lost per hour when the line is down.

Please enter a valid hourly cost.
Step 4 of 4 · Guided Calculation

Tell me about the team running this machine

For — I'll use labor as an anchor and apply an industry multiplier to approximate materials, energy, and variable overhead.

This is an estimate. We use your labor cost as a base and multiply it by an industry factor that accounts for typical materials and variable costs in your sector. Fixed costs are not included.
