Production Schedule Builder
Turn an order quantity and your real throughput into days to complete, units per day, and total run hours, then test it against a deadline. Your numbers stay in your browser.
Days to complete
0 days
How this is calculated
The run itself takes the order quantity divided by throughput; add setup to get total hours, then spread those hours across the working days you have.
Enter a deadline in working days and the calculator checks whether the order fits and, if not, the capacity gap:
Capacity gap = order quantity − (usable hours in deadline × throughput)
What this deliberately leaves out
- Steady rate assumed. Throughput is treated as constant. Real runs slow for changeovers, material waits, and ramp.
- No unplanned downtime. Breakdowns and micro-stops are not modeled. Size their impact with the OEE calculator and the machine downtime guide.
- One product, one line. Shared equipment, multiple SKUs, and queueing between steps are not accounted for here.
- Calendar, not clock. Days to complete counts working days at your entered hours, not weekends, holidays, or staffing gaps.
For a realistic throughput to feed in, start with the cycle time & throughput calculator, and see how a manufacturing operating system keeps schedules honest as conditions change.
Build schedules on real, live numbers
Harmony connects your machines, systems, and paperwork into one real-time operational layer, no rip-and-replace, so schedules reflect what the floor is actually doing, not last month's assumptions. Read the CLS case study.
