Hydraulic System Test Capacity at 65% expected test-cell uptime: a worked example

This worked example runs the hydraulic system test capacity numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 65% expected test-cell uptime instead of the typical 90%. Estimate hydraulic system test capacity for port, crane and terminal equipment using production-ready inputs so teams can confirm whether capacity can cover demand before committing the schedule.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Hydraulic assemblies tested per cycle: 4 units / cycle (held at the documented default)
  • Available test cycles in the window: 480 cycles (held at the documented default)
  • Expected test-cell uptime: 65 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 90)
  • Expected first-pass test yield: 97 % (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Gross hydraulic system test capacity = hydraulic system test capacity output per cycle × available hydraulic system test capacity cycles.
  • Good hydraulic system test capacity works out to 1,211 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gross hydraulic system test capacity works out to 1,920 units at these inputs.
  • Hydraulic system test capacity downtime loss works out to 672 units at these inputs.
  • Hydraulic system test capacity yield loss works out to 37.44 units at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where expected test-cell uptime sits at 90% and the headline result is 1,676 units, this scenario comes in 27.78% below the baseline at 1,211 units.
  • Use it when planning test-cell throughput, committing a delivery date for tested hydraulic assemblies, or sizing a second bench. 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

  • Good hydraulic system test capacity: 1,211 units (headline result)
  • Gross hydraulic system test capacity: 1,920 units
  • Hydraulic system test capacity downtime loss: 672 units
  • Hydraulic system test capacity yield loss: 37.44 units
