Service SC3A

Monthly Planning Cycle

Runs analytical. Starts when a drift signal breaches tolerance. It runs 71 times a week across 8 stations. 2 of those stations stop for a person and 6 are done by an agent, none of them on the shared spine.

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

Move something

71 a week is what the estate records. more

Decisions handed to agents0 of 2

Cheapest decision first. The last gate never moves: something on this service always ends with a person.

People on the gates70 people

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

Agent speed100%

100% is the dwell the estate records today. more

Person time a week

2,418.7h

71 items at 2,044 minutes of decision each.

Agent time a week

2,989.1h

2,526 minutes an item, which does not compete for a person.

Gate load

99%

Inside capacity, with 31.3h of headroom.

Stations without a person

75%

2 gates left on 8 stations.

Where an item spends its time

45% waiting on a person

55% in the agent lane

An item now takes 4,570 minutes of worked time end to end against 4,570 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 Monthly Planning Cycle

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

8 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.
