Try the starting example
- Stations [name,required cycles,cycle minutes,parallel existing units,proposed extra units]; enter JSON
- [["Oven",20,12,2,1],["Fryer",30,5,1,1]]
- Available operating window (minutes)
- 120
- Station utilization before and after (JSON)
- [["Oven",1,0.666666666667],["Fryer",1.25,0.625]]
- Largest proposed utilization
- 0.666667
Try another scenario
- Stations [name,required cycles,cycle minutes,parallel existing units,proposed extra units]; enter JSON
- [["Oven",30,10,2,1],["Fryer",40,6,1,2]]
- Available operating window (minutes)
- 150
- Station utilization before and after (JSON)
- [["Oven",1,0.666666666667],["Fryer",1.6,0.533333333333]]
- Largest proposed utilization
- 0.666667
Calculation method
Calculation method
Station utilization before and after (JSON)
Required work=cycles×cycle minutes; utilization=work/(window×parallel units); after adds proposed units.
Largest proposed utilization
Maximum station utilization after candidate additions.
Symbols and units
- a
- Stations [name,required cycles,cycle minutes,parallel existing units,proposed extra units]; enter JSON
- b
- Available operating window (minutes)
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
- Independent appliance workload-capacity comparison over a user window; no workflow coupling or safety rating inference. 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. Existing units positive integer, additions integer>=0; cycle minutes and window>0. Utilization>1 indicates aggregate workload deficit; values<=1 do not prove schedulability.
