Executive summary
The cycle is currently determined by: Loading. Registration differs by 24,0 minutes per job, which adds about 1.544 sellable units per month and a monthly economic effect of € 6.795. Nominal index time is usually not the strongest driver.

Registration & Machine Impact Calculator
See how faster registration, shorter indexing cycles and improved setup consistency can recover productive press time.
Understand how setup improvements and machine-cycle performance translate into recovered production time.
Current
Elapsed time during which the printing press cannot be used for normal production.
Preparation work that may require labor but does not necessarily block the production press.
Proposed
Elapsed time during which the printing press cannot be used for normal production.
Preparation work that may require labor but does not necessarily block the production press.
The main target-production model already uses the proposed setup and registration time, so this capacity is shown as an explanatory breakdown and is not added to the ROI a second time.

Cycle composition: print / flash / load / index / stabilize
Current bottleneck: Loading · Proposed bottleneck: Loading
The operator loading time is currently longer than the printhead cycle. Further index-speed improvements have limited effect until the loading bottleneck is addressed.

An MPI of 145 means the proposed configuration has a weighted operational score 45% higher than the current baseline under the selected assumptions. It does not mean every individual process is 45% faster.
The MPI is a relative operational planning indicator. It is not an ROI value, a guaranteed productivity claim, a manufacturer quality rating, a financing decision or a substitute for measured production data.
Demonstration data only. Not an equipment specification, production guarantee or industry benchmark.

Sensitivity analysis
See how a change in a single assumption moves the four primary KPIs. All other inputs stay unchanged.
Strongest lever: Expected monthly demand. A change of ±10 % moves the KPIs most through this assumption.
