Traceability, Serialization & Lot Genealogy worked example
Material Lot Split Workload at 12% setup, labeling, and delay allowance: a worked example
What does the result look like when setup, labeling, and delay allowance reaches 12%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when material lot split workload in traceability, serialization and lot genealogy needs a defensible run time before a quote goes out.
The inputs for this scenario
- Lot splits to process: 120 units (unchanged)
- Lot splits processed per minute: 12 units / min (unchanged)
- Setup, labeling, and delay allowance: 12 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 10)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Base material lot split workload time = material lot split workload workload รท material lot split workload completion rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 11.2 hr for required material lot split workload time, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 10 hr for base material lot split workload time.
- At this operating point the engine returns 12 % for material lot split workload allowance applied.
- At this operating point the engine returns 12 pieces / min for material lot split workload completion rate.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where setup, labeling, 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.
- A figure at this level is achievable when setup, labeling, and delay allowance is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It assumes splits are uniform; a split into many small child lots, or one requiring re-inspection of each sublot, takes more time than the average captures.
Results at a glance
- Required material lot split workload time: 11.2 hr (headline result)
- Base material lot split workload time: 10 hr
- Material lot split workload allowance applied: 12 %
- Material lot split workload completion rate: 12 pieces / min
