Calculate Your Productivity

Hourly Cost for Machine ::

1. Enter number of set-ups on machine per shift :

2. Enter number of shifts per day :

3. Enter number of insert changes per shift :

Convential
Tooling - KM Quick Change Tooling = Time Savings (minutes)

4. Enter set-up time for conventional tooling (minutes): - 2.5 =

5. Enter insert change time (minutes) : - 0.5 =

6.Enter trial cut time (minutes) : - 0.0 =

Shifts per Day - Days per Year = Shifts per Year

7.Multiply the number of shifts per day (see step 2) by the number of days per year the machine will be used : x 200 =

Insert Changes
per Shift - Shifts per Year = Insert Changes per Year

8.Multiply the number of insert changes per shift (see step 3) by the number of shifts per year (see step 7) : x =

Insert Changes per Year - 25% require trial cuts = Trial Cuts per Year

9.Multiply the number of insert changes per year (see step 8) by the % of required trial cuts : x 0.25 =

Annual time savings with KM Quick Change Tooling Package

Number - Time Saved
(minutes) = Total
(minutes)

10. Enter set-ups per year from step 7 : 800 x =

11.Enter insert changes per year from step 8 : x =

12.Enter trial cuts per year from step 9 : x =
