Cleaning visitor-based dispenser supply forecast calculator

Calculate demand and refill counts by supply and total visitor count with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use demand and refill counts by supply and total visitor count to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Supply [name,units/visit,dispenser capacity units]; enter JSON
[["Paper",2,200],["Soap",1,100]]
Visitors by interval (count)
30,50,40
Demand and refill counts by supply (JSON)
[["Paper",240,[[2,160]],0,120],["Soap",120,[[2,80]],0,60]]
Total visitor count
120

Try another scenario

Supply [name,units/visit,dispenser capacity units]; enter JSON
[["Paper",2.5,250],["Soap",1.2,100]]
Visitors by interval (count)
40,60,50
Demand and refill counts by supply (JSON)
[["Paper",375,[[2,250]],0,125],["Soap",180,[[1,48],[2,72]],0,40]]
Total visitor count
150
Calculation method

Calculation method

Demand and refill counts by supply (JSON)

Total demand=sum visitors×units/visit; start full dispenser, refill to full when next interval demand exceeds stock; if interval exceeds capacity report shortage.

Total visitor count

Sum interval visits.

Symbols and units
a
Supply [name,units/visit,dispenser capacity units]; enter JSON
b
Visitors by interval (count)

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

  • Measured per-visit consumable use and constant interval demand, with refill quantities; no hygiene sufficiency standard. Supported limits: All numeric inputs and computed intermediates must remain finite. Supported numeric input magnitude is zero or 1e-12 through 1e12 in absolute value; reject values outside this bounded range. All lists/JSON record tables are limited to 100 records unless a stricter bound is stated; reject malformed record arity and wrong member types. Positive capacity, nonnegative measured use; <=100 intervals; one refill at each interval start only.
