=(B1*C1+B2*C2+B3*C3)/(A1*A2*A3)

give me 1.02282515073213

I am trying to create a formula that can determine equipment capacity.

A1 = Seconds/Per Shift Avail.
A2 = Number of Shifts Scheduled
A3 = Number of Days Scheduled
B1 = Part A Annual Volume
B2 = Part B Annual Volume
B3 = Part C Annual Volume
C1 = Part A Cycle Time
C2 = Part B Cycle Time
C3 = Part C Cycle Time

I am just beginning to learn formulas in Excel and I am able to
determine the capacity for one Part. The problem is combining
multiple cycle times to determine capacity. Thanks in advance for the
help.- Hide quoted text -

A1 = 25800 seconds per shift
A2 = 3 Shifts
A3 = 240 Days Available
B1 = 1,000,000 Part A Volume
B2 = 300,000 Part B Volume
B3 = 200,000 Part C Volume
C1 = 10 Seconds to make Part A
C2 = 20 Seconds to make Part B
C3 = 15 Seconds to make Part C

If I take A1*A2*A3 the result would be 18,576,000 seconds available
per year. B1*C1 results in 10,000,000 seconds to build B1. B2*C2
results in 6,000,000 seconds to build B2. B3*C3 results in 3,000,000
seconds to build C3. With all the times combined I need 19,000,000
seconds to build the required volume of parts.

I only have one piece of equipment available to make Parts A, B, and
C. So basically I need to be able to say that I need 1.02 pieces of
equipment to produce the required volumes.
