Speed-Downtime Trade-off

Interactive calculator for sales-constrained environments. Find the optimal line speed where PPLH (Packs Per Labour-Hour) peaks, accounting for speed-induced reliability and quality degradation.

Sales-constrained logic: When demand exceeds capacity, labour efficiency (PPLH) drives profitability. Increasing speed boosts throughput but typically degrades availability and quality. This calculator models that trade-off to find your optimal operating point.

Baseline Parameters

Line Speed 100 packs/hour
Availability (Uptime) 85%
Quality (Yield) 98%
Operators on Line 4 people
Shift Length 8 hours

Speed Increase Scenario

Speed Increase +0%

Degradation Sensitivity

How fragile is your line? Define how much availability and quality degrade for every 10% speed increase.

Availability Loss 5% per 10% speed gain
Quality Loss 2% per 10% speed gain

Optimal Speed

Your optimal line speed is 100 packs/hour (a 0% increase from baseline), which would deliver 0.0 PPLH.
