Build Schedule Capacity at 62% expected shop uptime: a worked example

Suppose expected shop 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 accepted build schedule capacity from machines per build slot, available slots, shop uptime, and first-pass build yield.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Machines completed per build slot: 1 machines / slot (held at the documented default)
  • Available build slots: 28 slots (held at the documented default)
  • Expected shop uptime: 62 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 86)
  • First-pass build yield: 92 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross build schedule capacity = machines completed per build slot × available build slots.
  • Accepted build schedule capacity works out to 15.97 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross build schedule capacity works out to 28 units at these inputs.
  • Shop availability loss works out to 10.64 units at these inputs.
  • First-pass build yield loss works out to 1.39 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where expected shop uptime sits at 86% and the headline result is 22.15 units, this scenario comes in 27.91% below the baseline at 15.97 units.
  • It computes accepted build schedule capacity by derating gross slot capacity for expected shop uptime and first-pass build yield. 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.

Results at a glance

  • Accepted build schedule capacity: 15.97 units (headline result)
  • Gross build schedule capacity: 28 units
  • Shop availability loss: 10.64 units
  • First-pass build yield loss: 1.39 units
