Workforce onboarding equipment demand calculator

Calculate missing equipment and complete kits ready with your own figures.

Your numbers

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

Use missing equipment and complete kits ready to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

JSON Equipment [ID,required units per new starter,available units]
[["laptop",1,8],["monitor",2,12]]
Same-date starter cohort (count)
10
Days until starts
14
Procurement lead time (days)
21
Missing equipment
[["laptop",2],["monitor",8]]
Complete kits ready
6
Lead-time shortfall (days)
7

Try another scenario

JSON Equipment [ID,required units per new starter,available units]
[["laptop",1,8],["monitor",2,12]]
Same-date starter cohort (count)
6
Days until starts
14
Procurement lead time (days)
21
Missing equipment
[["laptop",0],["monitor",0]]
Complete kits ready
6
Lead-time shortfall (days)
7
Calculation method

Calculation method

Missing equipment

J([[r[0],max(0,r[1]*b-r[2])] for r in a])

Complete kits ready

min(b,min(math.floor(r[2]/r[1]) for r in a))

Lead-time shortfall (days)

max(0,d-c)

Symbols and units
a
JSON Equipment [ID,required units per new starter,available units]
b
Same-date starter cohort (count)
c
Days until starts
d
Procurement lead time (days)

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 same-date role kit; repeat per start-date cohort after reserving earlier stock. Positive per-person requirements. Lead-time shortfall is a planning signal from supplied values. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
