Aptean's free online cost savings calculator helps manufacturers visualize the potential impact of eliminating paper-based, performance measurement on the shop floor. By plugging in readily-available, currently reported metrics, the calculator illustrates the typical savings manufacturers can achieve – in terms of labor costs savings, material yield savings as well as capacity uplift potential – by using an out of the box manufacturing execution system (MES). The calculator, available at www.savewithfactory.com, is suitable for both multi-site and single plants in specific verticals, including food and beverage, automotive, consumer packaged goods and pharmaceutical.
