What changes the number?

Tap the 0/4 spots — each one shows up on both teams. Hover to see what a spot is; tap to read it.
Team A100 / hr
Team B80 / hr
Tap any spot again to re-read it.
It makes sense each team hits a different number — their equipment, product, method, and supervision aren’t the same.
So instead of asking which one is in the Zone… let’s find each team’s own Zone.
Your mission

Find the sweet spot.

Move each team's slider and see how the same performance has different boxes per hour for each team. Why? Because the Zone is about Performance — how efficiently you do the job without risking yourself or the quality of the job — not just how many boxes per hour you move. The Zone depends on each team's conditions. The Zone is the sweet spot: not too low (leaving cases behind), not too high (rushing past safe). Move the sliders and Check it yourself!

For both teams, the Zone is the same sweet spot: Performance between 100% and 120%. But look at the cases-per-hour that lands there — different for each team, and different from where we started. Same Zone, different numbers.

One last thing

Say it your way.

🏃 One last way to see it
Two runners: a marathon runner at a steady endurance pace and a 5K runner at a quick-burst pace — neither is better, each is right for their race

Picture two runners — one runs a marathon, the other a 5K. Totally different paces, and you'd never say one is better than the other. Each pace is right for their race.

Team A and Team B are the same. Each has its own Zone — its own right pace — set by the job in front of them. The standard is simply the time every task on this site should take to be done safely, accurately, and at a pace you can keep up all shift.

✓

You've got it.

Neither team was in the Zone. The big number told you nothing.

1

Don't measure raw cases. Measure against the team's target — its standard.

2

More isn't better. Past the Zone, you trade safety and quality for speed.

3

Equipment, product, method & safety, and supervisors all move the number — so every team's target is different.
