Manufacturing Lead Time Calculator method
Enter totals across the complete routing for queue, setup, run, move and wait. Their sum is manufacturing lead time. A component must be recorded once and every value must use hours.
Build a manufacturing time ledger from queue, setup, run, move and wait totals. See the run-time share, working-day equivalent and a declared queue-reduction scenario.

A routing total explains where time is recorded. Changing a queue assumption creates a scenario to review; it does not promise that the factory will achieve the shorter lead time.

THE FIELD NOTES
Use the result now, then read the practical notes for assumptions, examples, limitations, and the choices behind it.
40 hours equals 5 working days at 8 hours/day. Halving queue reduces the arithmetic scenario to 28 hours.
Enter totals across the complete routing for queue, setup, run, move and wait. Their sum is manufacturing lead time. A component must be recorded once and every value must use hours.
Working-day equivalent divides by scheduled hours per day. The run-time share is run divided by total; when all times are zero its percentage is unavailable. The queue scenario reduces only the entered queue component.
Use the reorder point calculator with the complete replenishment lead time, including procurement and delivery where relevant. Use the economic production quantity calculator separately to model lot sizing; a routing duration alone does not determine the economic lot.
This excludes procurement, external shipping, parallel-routing scheduling and calendars. Scheduled-day conversion does not predict delivery dates or automatically remove bottlenecks.
