Service RD3A
Protocol Development
Runs transactional. Starts when a threshold is crossed. It runs 430 times a week across 7 stations. 2 of those stations stop for a person and 5 are done by an agent, 1 of them on the shared spine.

Every station in order
The same stations as a list, with the dwell the estate records against each one and the system a station of that shape would touch.

Operations
Run it
Change the volume, move the autonomy line, release a gate, and watch what happens to the hours in each lane and to the time it takes one run to get through. more
The simulation is arithmetic on the estate, not a queueing model. more
How it runs
Run it again, going wrong
The same unit and the same stations, broken the way the estate already records breaking. more
7 stations, walked twice
Once clean, once with the categories the estate counts
This is the same unit on the same stations, breaking. more
No break below was chosen. more
One play head, two tracks, the same scale. The clean run stops when it runs out of stations; the other one keeps going.

What the two runs say together
4 counted categories land on this procedure. more
What this run cannot claim
These breaks are shown together on one unit so the shape of a bad day fits on one screen. more
Two clocks run. Worked time is the sum of the time the work is actually being done … more

Who runs it
Orchestration and accountability
- Orchestrated by
- Experiment Design Orchestrator
- That orchestrator’s remit
- Owns protocol work end to end inside Research & Development. Runs 3 lines across 16 stations, drains the repeatable share into the C2L tower, and holds 4 human gates.
- Accountable person
- Director, Research Methods
- Sub-function
