Automation calculator
From cases per month, minutes before and after, imputed hourly rate, operating costs and setup effort: freed-up capacity, imputed benefit, net benefit and payback.
Capacity (h/month) = (minutes before − minutes after) × runs ÷ 60 · Benefit = capacity × hourly value · Net = benefit − operating costs · Payback = setup ÷ net (only if net > 0)
Freed-up capacity
–
Time that can be used differently – not money in the bank.
Calculated benefit (gross)
–
Capacity × calculated hourly value
Calculated net benefit
–
Benefit − monthly operating costs
Setup payback
–
Limits
What the calculator doesn't answer.
- Freed-up time is capacity. Whether it turns into money depends on what happens with the time – the calculator uses an imputed value, not a booked one.
- Rework for exceptions, review time and cost of errors must be factored into “minutes after” or into the operating costs yourself.
- Payback is only shown if the net benefit is positive.
