Implantable Electronics & Neurodevices worked example

Traceability Workload at 18% traceability correction allowance: a worked example in implantable electronics & neurodevices

This worked example runs the traceability workload numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 18% traceability correction allowance instead of the typical 25%. Estimate traceability record workload for implantable device lots using record count, review rate, and documentation allowance.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Traceability records to process: 950 records (held at the documented default)
  • Traceability review rate: 18 records / min (held at the documented default)
  • Traceability correction allowance: 18 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 25)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Base traceability workload time = traceability records to process รท traceability review rate.
  • Required traceability workload time works out to 62.28 min at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Base traceability workload time works out to 52.78 min at these inputs.
  • Traceability correction allowance works out to 18 % at these inputs.
  • Traceability review rate works out to 18 pieces / min at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where traceability correction allowance sits at 25% and the headline result is 65.97 min, this scenario comes in 5.6% below the baseline at 62.28 min.
  • Use it when scheduling device history record (DHR) review or UDI/genealogy reconciliation ahead of lot release. 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

  • Required traceability workload time: 62.28 min (headline result)
  • Base traceability workload time: 52.78 min
  • Traceability correction allowance: 18 %
  • Traceability review rate: 18 pieces / min
