Solution · Scenario analysis
Test the change on paper before you test it on the line.
Two supported scenario models, each with readable arithmetic and listed assumptions. Use them to frame an engineering decision, not to replace one.
01Try it
Two models on the demo cell.
Deterministic and illustrative. Changing a parameter recomputes the result from the formula; nothing is random.

Illustrative scenario| Output | Baseline 100 % | Alternative 115 % | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNV-001 conveyor rate (units/h) | 1,200 | 1,380 | +180 |
| Cell throughput (units/h) | 1,200 | 1,214 | +14 |
| Bottleneck station | CNV-001 | PKG-001 | changed |
| Packer infeed buffer | Not filling | Full in ≈ 43 min | changed |
| MTR-001 load (linear estimate) (%) | 68 | 78.2 | +10.2 |
- MTR-001 load ≤ 85 % (assumed limit)78.2 % estimated
- Packer infeed buffer does not fill within 60 minFull in ≈ 43 min
Calculation and assumptions
throughput = min(1,200 × speed, 1,320 × 0.92) · buffer fill = 120 ÷ surplus · load = 68 % × speed
- Steady state only: no start-up, changeover or stochastic stoppages.
- PKG-001 effective rate = rated 1,320 units/h × 92 % planned availability, treated as a constant.
- CNV-001 rate scales linearly with belt speed from its rated 1,200 units/h.
- MTR-001 load scales linearly with conveyor speed from its 30-day mean. Not validated for this drive.
- Packer infeed buffer holds 120 units and starts empty.
Results follow from the model and assumptions listed. This is not a physics simulation and not a validated prediction.
02Configuring a scenario
Every input is visible.
Supported models
S1 Threshold policy replay and S2 Cell capacity model. Affinity-law and discrete-event models are planned; physics engines are a future integration.
Baseline
A twin version and data window. For S2 on the demo cell: CNV-001 rated 1,200 units/h, PKG-001 rated 1,320 units/h at 92 % availability, 120-unit buffer.
Comparisons
Baseline and alternatives side by side with signed deltas and units. Runs are reproducible from the stored input hash.
Assumptions
- Steady state only: no start-up, changeover or stochastic stoppages.
- PKG-001 effective rate = rated 1,320 units/h × 92 % planned availability, treated as a constant.
- CNV-001 rate scales linearly with belt speed from its rated 1,200 units/h.
- MTR-001 load scales linearly with conveyor speed from its 30-day mean. Not validated for this drive.
- Packer infeed buffer holds 120 units and starts empty.
Missing inputs
A scenario will not run on silently defaulted values. Missing inputs are listed with a link to where they are set.
Physics-based simulation
Requires an appropriate simulation engine and validated engineering models. Results would carry the engine’s name and validation status.
