IE Calculator is an application designed for Industrial Engineering that allows easy calculation to support the manufacturing planning. After setting the working pattern you are able to make the following calculations: - Production Capacity based on the cycle time or Jobs Per Hour(JPH). - Takt Time according to the volume demand. It can be yearly, monthly, weekly, daily or hourly demand. - Actual JPH(Jobs Per Hour) based on the start time and the end time. - HPU(Hours Per Unit) - The time required to produce one unit in the manufacturing process. I hope you enjoy the app. Gustavo Sousa, App Developer and Industrial Engineer with broad experience in the automotive industry. Email Contact: gustavoy@gmail.com
