Auger Rate at 66% target auger rate attainment: a worked example

This worked example runs the auger rate numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 66% target auger rate attainment instead of the typical 92%. Calculate auger or screw conveyor rate attainment by comparing actual conveyed material with the planned conveying amount and target attainment.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Actual auger conveyed weight: 44 tons (held at the documented default)
  • Planned auger conveyed weight: 50 tons (held at the documented default)
  • Target auger rate attainment: 66 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 92)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Auger rate attainment = actual auger conveyed weight ÷ planned auger conveyed weight × 100.
  • Auger rate attainment works out to 88 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Auger rate gap to target works out to -22 points at these inputs.
  • Actual auger conveyed weight works out to 44 count at these inputs.
  • Planned auger conveyed weight works out to 50 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target auger rate attainment sits at 92% and the headline result is 88 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 88 %.
  • Use it at end of shift or after a conveying run to grade an individual auger or transfer leg against its scheduled tonnage. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Auger rate attainment: 88 % (headline result)
  • Auger rate gap to target: -22 points
  • Actual auger conveyed weight: 44 count
  • Planned auger conveyed weight: 50 count
