End-Of-Line Electrical Test at 12% setup, connection, and logging allowance: a worked example

What does the result look like when setup, connection, and logging allowance reaches 12%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when the end-of-line test rate or allowance is changing and you want to see the impact on test hours.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Motors to electrically test: 120 units (unchanged)
  • Test stand throughput rate: 12 units / min (unchanged)
  • Setup, connection, and logging allowance: 12 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 10)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Base electrical test time = units to test รท test rate per stand) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.2 hr for required electrical test time, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 10 hr for base electrical test time.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12 % for setup and logging allowance applied.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 12 pieces / min for test rate per stand.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where setup, connection, and logging allowance sits at 10% and the headline result is 11 hr, this scenario comes in 1.82% above the baseline at 11.2 hr.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when setup, connection, and logging allowance is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It assumes a single steady throughput rate and one flat allowance; mixed motor types with different test sequences or a stand that bottlenecks on cool-down between units will need a blended or per-family rate.

Results at a glance

  • Required electrical test time: 11.2 hr (headline result)
  • Base electrical test time: 10 hr
  • Setup and logging allowance applied: 12 %
  • Test rate per stand: 12 pieces / min
