A PRACTICAL TOOL FOR THE SHIFT CONVERSATION

What could your shift miss?

Estimate the gap at the pace you enter. Compare a recovery scenario and share the assumptions with your team.

Free to useNo sign-inTransparent calculations

Example inputs will load when the calculator is ready.

Set the shift assumptions

Use good-unit counts and a gross running rate.

Whole good units you want to complete.

Good units completed

Accepted output already completed.

Current gross running rate

Include the remaining planned stops.

Remaining planned stops

Time with zero production: breaks or other stops.

YOUR SHIFT OUTLOOK

Projected good output—whole units at shift end

WHAT IF

Projected good output—

Shortfall—

Additional good units—

Projected good output is rounded down to whole units. Shortfall uses the same whole-unit result. Required pace is rounded up to the next 0.1 unit/hour.

UNDERSTAND THE ESTIMATE

A clear method.
Visible assumptions.

This tool estimates the remaining production at a constant gross running rate. Planned stops have zero output. Completed good units are retained as entered; the expected scrap percentage applies only to future output.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before you
share a scenario.

Which running rate should I enter?

Use the gross output per hour while the line is running, before scrap. A net good-output rate that already includes scrap or stops would apply those losses twice in this calculator.

What if no productive time is left?

The projection retains the good units already completed. If the target has not been met, the required running rate is unavailable because no productive time remains.

Does a recovery scenario change the factory schedule?

The calculator evaluates the values you enter. It does not connect to machines or execute production changes. MagicWand’s factory intelligence workflow connects operational evidence to proposals for human review.

Will people opening my link see the same scenario?

The link contains the validated inputs, including the recovery assumptions. Anyone opening it can view the scenario and change the numbers. The estimate is based on those values rather than live factory data.

Why can the shortfall look conservative?

The intermediate calculation uses full precision, but the displayed shift-end output is rounded down to whole good units. The displayed shortfall is the target minus that whole-unit projection.
