## What is Focus factor?

The focus factor is the share of working time actually devoted to production after meetings, interruptions, and side tasks. It typically ranges from 60 to 80%.

## Key points

Applying a focus factor to gross capacity avoids unrealistic 100% plans.

## Formula

Productive capacity = gross capacity × focus factor

## Example

With 18 gross days and a 75% focus factor, productive capacity is 13.5 days.
