Production Ramp, Scale-Up & Launch Readiness worked example
Process Transfer Workload at 12% setup, handling, and delay allowance: a worked example
Push setup, handling, and delay allowance up to 12% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when process transfer workload in production ramp, scale-up and launch readiness is changing rate or allowance and you want to see the impact.
The inputs for this scenario
- Parts to run through the transferred process: 120 units (unchanged)
- Validated cycle rate on the receiving line: 12 units / min (unchanged)
- Setup, handling, and delay allowance: 12 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 10)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Base process transfer workload time = process transfer workload workload รท process transfer workload completion rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 11.2 hr for required process transfer workload time, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 10 hr for base process transfer workload time.
- At this operating point the engine returns 12 % for process transfer workload allowance applied.
- At this operating point the engine returns 12 pieces / min for process transfer workload completion rate.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where setup, handling, and delay allowance sits at 10% and the headline result is 11 hr, this scenario comes in 1.82% above the baseline at 11.2 hr.
- It divides the part quantity by the receiving line's cycle rate to get base run time, then inflates that by a setup, handling, and delay allowance to give required hours. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
