Make decisions with data. Not guesswork.
When your machines run better, what happens?
This changes the whole calculation — pick the one that sounds like you.
Step 1

Your factory

Appears on the report you'll download at the end.
Picking an industry sets typical OEE, rates and margins for that sector — adjust anything that doesn't match.
Every connected machine is loss you can finally see.
Between 1 and 1,000 machines.
1 shift = 8h · 2 shifts = 16h · 3 shifts = 24h.
Between 1 and 24 hours.
After weekends and shutdowns — 230 is typical for 5-day working.
Between 1 and 365 days.
Availability × Performance × Quality. If you don't measure it yet, 55% is a fair starting estimate — that visibility gap is exactly what FourJaw closes.
Step 2

Where are you today?

For each thing FourJaw does, how do you do it now? Be honest — the gaps are where the money is.

Step 3

What recovered hours are worth

If unsure: annual revenue ÷ (machines × annual hours).
Must be at least 1.
We value recovered hours at margin, not revenue — extra output doesn't carry proportional material cost. If unsure, use 40%.
Between 1 and 100%.
Costs beyond the lost output already counted: idle labour, scrap, emergency call-outs, expediting. Not lost revenue. Typically 50–150 per hour.
Can't be negative.
Step 4

FourJaw investment

Can't be negative.
One-off. Set to 0 if it's bundled in.
Can't be negative.
