Weighing, Dosing & Loss-in-Weight Feeding worked example
Batch Tolerance Window with measured batch weight of 310 kg: a worked example
Push measured batch weight up to 310 kg and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when batch tolerance window in weighing, dosing and loss-in-weight feeding needs a clean margin number for a weighing, dosing and loss-in-weight feeding go / no-go review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Measured batch weight: 310 kg (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
- Nominal batch target: 100 kg (unchanged)
- Tolerance basis weight: 100 kg (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Batch Tolerance Window margin = available value - required value) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for margin, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for absolute 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 measured batch weight sits at 125 kg and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
- It computes the deviation between the measured batch weight and the nominal target, then expresses that deviation as a percentage of a tolerance basis weight. 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
- Margin: 210 % (headline result)
- Absolute margin: 210 value
- Available amount: 310 value
- Required amount: 100 value
