Capacity Planning Calculator - find your bottleneck before it finds you.
Capacity utilization = actual output / maximum possible output. Your bottleneck, not your average, sets your true capacity. Enter your line numbers to find the constraint before it costs you an order.
Goldratt's Theory of Constraints: system output is limited by the bottleneck. This calculator finds yours, shows months-to-constraint at your growth rate, and prices out expansion options.
Current capacity at each resource
Theory of Constraints (Goldratt): system output is limited by the bottleneck. Track up to 5 resources; the highest-load one constrains everything else.
Resources
| Resource name | Hrs/day | Days/wk | Shifts | Efficiency % | Cycle min/unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
When you need to know whether to add a shift, hire, or buy equipment
SimpleGrid surfaces the bottleneck live - and tells you what each fix is worth.
OEE per resource. Load percentage. Forecast horizon. The next capex decision should be informed by actual constraint data, not the loudest plant manager.
