Coil/Spool Capacity at 99% crimper and cut-line uptime: a worked example

This scenario runs the coil/spool capacity calculation on the strong side: 99% crimper and cut-line uptime, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when planning production from a specific coil or spool to confirm whether available material covers the order.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Assemblies cut per coil or spool pass: 50 assemblies / pass (unchanged)
  • Usable passes per coil or spool: 18 passes (unchanged)
  • Crimper and cut-line uptime: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)
  • First-pass assembly yield: 96 % (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Gross coil capacity = assemblies per pass x usable passes) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 855 assemblies for good assemblies from coil or spool, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 900 assemblies for gross coil or spool capacity.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 9 assemblies for equipment downtime loss.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 35.64 assemblies for quality yield loss.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where crimper and cut-line uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 778 assemblies, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 855 assemblies.
  • Use it when sizing bulk hose purchases against an order release or converting available spools into a committed assembly schedule. 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

  • Good assemblies from coil or spool: 855 assemblies (headline result)
  • Gross coil or spool capacity: 900 assemblies
  • Equipment downtime loss: 9 assemblies
  • Quality yield loss: 35.64 assemblies
