Fleet Dispatch Workload Calculator at 21% exception and replan allowance: a worked example

This scenario runs the fleet dispatch workload calculator calculation on the strong side: 21% exception and replan allowance, with every other input held at its documented default. a control-room lead or automation engineer needs to estimate dispatch workload for a shift or operating day

The inputs for this scenario

  • Dispatched fleet missions: 2,400 missions (unchanged)
  • Dispatch processing rate: 18 missions/min (unchanged)
  • Exception and replan allowance: 21 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 18)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base dispatch processing time = dispatched fleet missions รท dispatch processing rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 161 hr for adjusted dispatch workload time, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 133 hr for base dispatch processing time.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 21 % for exception and replan allowance.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 18 missions/min for dispatch processing rate.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where exception and replan allowance sits at 18% and the headline result is 157 hr, this scenario comes in 2.54% above the baseline at 161 hr.
  • Use it when sizing dispatch capacity, planning peak-day staffing for fleet operators, or diagnosing why robots wait for missions. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Adjusted dispatch workload time: 161 hr (headline result)
  • Base dispatch processing time: 133 hr
  • Exception and replan allowance: 21 %
  • Dispatch processing rate: 18 missions/min

Run it with your numbers

  • Every input above is editable in the live Fleet Dispatch Workload Calculator calculator, which recalculates instantly and can be shared with the inputs intact.
