Calculation method
Calculation method
Required batches
Round up jobs / jobs per batch.
Sequential completion (minutes)
Required batches × (wash minutes + handling minutes).
Unused positions in last batch
Zero if no jobs; otherwise batches × batch capacity − jobs.
Symbols and units
- a
- Jobs
- b
- Jobs per wash batch
- c
- Wash minutes per batch
- d
- Handling minutes per batch
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
- One sequential wash station with equal treatment times and no overlap between handling and washing. This estimates throughput, not a validated resin-cleaning process.
