Schedule changes (4×10 vs. 5×8), tiered production bonuses, piece-rate pilots, and cross-training can shift weekly output as much as new equipment can — but they live downstream of the bottleneck this tool finds. LaborLogic models cost per SF, OT vs. hire vs. shift decisions, and how staffing maps to your constraint.
Compass bridges the two: when ShopCapacity flags a labor-bound bottleneck, Compass routes it into LaborLogic automatically and pulls back the crew-side answer — so “machine vs. labor” stops being two separate calculators you’re mentally syncing.
Save multiple shop configurations, compare equipment changes side-by-side over months, share read-only views with your team, and track how your bottleneck shifts as you grow — all part of Compass, the subscription tier that pairs ShopCapacity, LaborLogic, and BreakEven with persistent shop data.
Use them to spot constraints and test changes — your floor will tell you the rest.
