- Stages JSON [ID,cycle seconds,machine count,availability fraction]
- [["A",30,2,0.9],["B",40,1,1]]
- Stage capacities (units/hour)
- [["A",216],["B",90]]
- Bottleneck throughput (units/hour)
- 90
- Limiting stage IDs
- B
Try another scenario
- Stages JSON [ID,cycle seconds,machine count,availability fraction]
- [["A",30,2,0.9],["B",20,1,1]]
- Stage capacities (units/hour)
- [["A",216],["B",180]]
- Bottleneck throughput (units/hour)
- 180
- Limiting stage IDs
- B
Calculation method
Calculation method
Stage capacities (units/hour)
3600*machines*availability/cycle for each stage.
Bottleneck throughput (units/hour)
Minimum stage capacity.
Limiting stage IDs
All stages tied for minimum capacity.
Symbols and units
- a
- Stages JSON [ID,cycle seconds,machine count,availability fraction]
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Steady fluid capacity with independent parallel identical machines per stage. Ignores blocking, starvation, buffers, setup and yield losses. Supported limits: 1..100 stages; positive cycle, positive integer machines; availability in (0,1].
