What belongs in the conveyor and line design category?

Any calculator that helps size speed, spacing, dwell, buffers, staffing, capacity, bottlenecks, or schedule output for a paced production line.

Should the homepage still show these calculators?

Yes. Category pages are focused entry points, while the homepage remains the all-calculators library for search and discovery.

Manufacturing calculator category

Size conveyor speed, part spacing, dwell zones, buffers, takt, and capacity targets before changing line layouts or production schedules.

Line speed, dwell, spacing, accumulation, takt, shift capacity, bottleneck, and throughput tools for conveyorized production lines.
Browse conveyor & production line design calculators for manufacturing planning, quoting, quality, capacity, and operations decisions.

Cycle Time: Check takt, cycle time, throughput, and utilization for a shift or line.
OEE: Calculate availability, performance, quality, and overall equipment effectiveness.
Takt Time: Find the pace production must hold to satisfy customer demand.
Throughput: Estimate hourly, shift, and daily output from cycle time, uptime, and yield.
Machine Utilization: Measure run time, idle time, and downtime against available machine time.
Conveyor Speed: Size belt or line speed for throughput, spacing, and dwell requirements.
Dwell Time: Calculate how long parts remain inside an oven, wash, cure, or process zone.
Line Balance: Measure station balance, bottleneck time, balance efficiency, and idle time across a line.
Bottleneck Capacity: Find the limiting process step and the good-unit capacity it allows for a line or cell.
Schedule Attainment: Compare planned output against actual output and estimate the schedule miss from lost time.
Downtime Cost: Quantify contribution margin and labor impact from unplanned downtime.
Preventive Maintenance ROI: Estimate savings and ROI from reducing downtime with preventive maintenance improvements.
