Pump, Compressor & Rotating Equipment Assembly worked example

Throughput Gap with available assembly throughput of 310 units: a worked example in pump, compressor & rotating equipment assembly

Push available assembly throughput up to 310 units and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when throughput gap in pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly needs a clean margin number for a pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Available assembly throughput: 310 units (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Required throughput to meet schedule: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Reference throughput for percentage: 100 units (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Throughput Gap margin = available value - required value) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 units / hr for absolute margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for margin.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available amount.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required amount.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where available assembly throughput sits at 125 units and the headline result is 25 units / hr, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 units / hr.
  • It computes the margin between available throughput and required throughput, both as an absolute unit rate and as a percentage of a reference throughput. 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.

Results at a glance

  • Absolute margin: 210 units / hr (headline result)
  • Margin: 210 %
  • Available amount: 310 value
  • Required amount: 100 value
