--- title: Impact of Production Downtime Calculator description: Calculate estimated lost profits due to production interruptions and the benefits of improving efficiency and reducing downtime. --- [![CavCom](https://cavcominc.com/_images/site/logo-new-600.png)](https://cavcominc.com/) # Impact of Production Downtime Calculator ## Calculate the Impact of Operational Downtime Improved communication capabilities and better hearing protection come at a cost, but consider the impact of your operational downtime when there’s a communication breakdown. For any business decision, it’s important to look at the return on investment (ROI).  Using our downtime calculator, you can quickly and easily determine how your company can benefit from better communication systems and hearing protection. INSTRUCTIONS: In the yellow boxes below, enter information about your operations. Your predicted lost and recoverable profits will appear in the red and blue boxes below. Step 1: Enter expected profit for a product or operation Expected Profit: profit per unit Step 2: Enter number of these units produced per hour Units produced: units per hour Step 3: Enter number of production hours in a typical day Production Hours: hours of operation per day Step 4: Enter average number of hours of downtime in a typical day Downtime: hours of downtime per day Step 5: Enter number of workdays in your typical work week Workdays: days of operation per week **Read estimates for your operation in the red and blue boxes** **TOTAL estimated lost profits due to downtime** per day per week per year **TOTAL estimated profits to be recovered with increased efficiency/decreased downtime** IF 10% decrease in downtime: added profit per year IF 20% decrease in downtime: added profit per year IF 30% decrease in downtime: added profit per year IF 40% decrease in downtime: added profit per year IF 50% decrease in downtime: added profit per year \* Calculations based on 50 work weeks per year --- ## Are you ready to discuss your findings? Let's talk about how you can decrease your downtime through a better communication system that not only meets your hearing protection requirements but also has a positive return on investment.
