Service RD4C

Calibration Cycle

Runs transactional. Starts when a threshold is crossed. It runs 2,882 times a week across 6 stations. One of those stations stops for a person and 5 are done by an agent, 4 of them on the shared spine.

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.

2,882 a week is what the estate records.
Decisions handed to agents0 of 0
This service has at most one gate, so there is nothing to hand over without removing the last human decision.

Each one is assumed to have 2,100 productive minutes a week, which is 35 hours.

Where an item spends its time

An item now takes 591 minutes of worked time end to end against 591 in the recorded estate, a change of +0%. This is worked time, not calendar time: nothing here models a queue or a weekend.
What this model is, on Calibration Cycle

The simulation is arithmetic on the estate, not a queueing model.

How it runs

Run it again, going wrong

The same unit and the same stations, broken the way the estate already records breaking.

6 stations, walked twice

Once clean, once with the categories the estate counts

This is the same unit on the same stations, breaking.

No break below was chosen.

One play head, two tracks, the same scale. The clean run stops when it runs out of stations; the other one keeps going.

What breaks, and where it is counted

No break below was chosen.

What the two runs say together

4 counted categories land on this procedure.

What this run cannot claim

These breaks are shown together on one unit so the shape of a bad day fits on one screen.

The separation register records a duty conflict against a sub-function and a named post, not against one procedure.

Two clocks run. Worked time is the sum of the time the work is actually being done …
