Calculate how much time it takes?

Question

I want to calculate of find a program to calculate timing for me. I want to find out how much time it takes to run an automated line. 20 steps in all. I have times in each step that must be met. Then find out how many times a day I can run this line. Does anyone know where I could get something like this.

Answer 1

Is there any reason you or someone else with relatively simple math skills can't do this yourself? If all steps have to be finished before you can start again, just time the whole process, then divide 28,800 seconds, 480 minutes, or 8 hours (1 normal workday) by the amount of time it takes the process.

If you can start the next batch at step one as soon as the first batch goes to step two, time the slowest step of the process, then divide it into the above numbers. You can only run as many processes as the slowest step allows.
