How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the number of batches to produce in one run.
  2. Set mix time, bulk fermentation time, divide/shape time, final proof time, and bake time per oven load.
  3. Enter oven capacity (batches per load).
  4. The calculator outputs total production hours, time until the first batch is ready, and oven utilization percentage.
  5. Use the schedule to set start times so all batches are finished before service or delivery.

Bulk fermentation
First rise / bulk fermentation time.
Divide & shape time
Time to divide, pre-shape, and final shape.
Final proof time
Final proof time after shaping.
Bake time per load
Bake time per oven load.
Oven capacity (batches)
How many batches fit in the oven at once.

What each result means

Total production time
Total time from first mix to last batch out of oven.
Total production time
Total production time in minutes.
First batch ready
Time until the first batch is baked and ready.
First batch ready
First batch ready time in minutes.
Oven utilization
Percentage of total production time the oven is actively baking.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Number of batches = 4, Mix time per batch = 15, Bulk fermentation = 90, Divide & shape time = 20 = 7 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total production time
    Total production time
    5.08 = 5.08
  3. Calculate Total production time
    Total production time
    305 = 305
  4. Calculate First batch ready
    First batch ready
    3.58 = 3.58
