There are plans to implement a "Missed sales within shipping range" on the side panel for factories in 1.19. That should give you the amount you need to produce more of to fill demand. Assuming that's what you're looking for.
Your assessment of remainders would become much more difficult when you're managing 20 factories. For starters, each branch only has a limited shipping radius. Factory may be in that radius where as others wouldn't. But another branch may have overlap of all the factories, thus screwing up a simple Numbers Needed - Numbers produced deal you suggest.
In the meantime, if you have monitor space, you can open both the branch distribution window and the factory production windows. The branch window includes both missed sales at that location and the number of vehicles produced in a shipping range. You can then adjust the production amounts based on that information.
(Eventually as you get larger, it becomes easier/less micromanagy to use the districting system. The trade off however is optimization.)
