Control Board Capacity Gap Calculator at 62% constrained process uptime: a worked example
Suppose constrained process uptime falls to 62%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate usable appliance control board production capacity from boards per production cycle, available cycles, equipment uptime, and combined yield.
The inputs for this scenario
- Boards completed per constrained cycle: 4 boards/cycle (held at the documented default)
- Available constrained-process cycles: 900 cycles/shift (held at the documented default)
- Constrained process uptime: 62 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 86)
- Combined good-board yield: 95 % (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross scheduled board capacity = boards completed per constrained cycle × available constrained-process cycles.
- Usable control board capacity works out to 2,120 boards/shift at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Gross scheduled board capacity works out to 3,600 boards/shift at these inputs.
- Boards lost to process downtime works out to 1,368 boards/shift at these inputs.
- Boards lost to combined yield loss works out to 112 boards/shift at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where constrained process uptime sits at 86% and the headline result is 2,941 boards/shift, this scenario comes in 27.91% below the baseline at 2,120 boards/shift.
- It computes usable good-board capacity per shift at the constrained process after applying uptime and combined yield, and shows the boards lost to each. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
