Operator Requirement Calculator
Manpower needed to hit a daily target at a given SMV and efficiency.
Operators needed
30
Exact requirement
29.51
The formula
Operators = target x SMV / (working minutes x efficiency), rounded up.
Worked example
Target per day: 1000 pcs, Garment SMV: 8.5 min, Working minutes per day: 480 min, Expected efficiency: 60 %. Result: Operators needed = 30; Exact requirement = 29.51.
Assumptions
- Helpers included only if their minutes are inside the SMV.
In the platform
Intelactory computes line efficiency from the output and attendance each line records, and forecasts capacity conflicts across lines and factories.
