Watch video manual Analyze the balance result

Balance result is a numeric presentation of the line/variant/variant mix balance. The result consists of four four sections;  Time, Utilization, Takt and Resources. Each section contains a number of columns, some are always always shown and some are shown when the section is expanded by pressing image-1648762072460.png

The numeric table is instantly updated when a change occurs.

The columns in the balance result are listed and explained below the picture.

Time  section
                                      
Max:                                                              Max time of executor or max time time of  of  all  children.
                                                                                                                        (a child is an element in a sub level).

                                      Operator:                                  Sum of all tasks executed by operator or operators (or tasks under workstation).

                                      Machine:                                    Sum of all tasks executed by machine or machines.

                                      Inner balance loss:      Sum of internal balancing loss between resources.

                                      Deficit:                                                    (Max time of selected object) – (efficiency takt time), red if positive.

                                      Unassigned tasks:        The sum of all tasks that has not been assigned to a resource or resources.

Utilization  section                 section                 Utilization is defined as the total time divided by the efficiency takt time.

                                      Operator Mean:                  Average utilization for the selection and its children.

                                      Machine Mean:                    Average utilization for the selection and its children.

                                      Max:                                                              Maximum utilization for the selection and its children.

                                      Min:                                                                Minimum utilization for the selection and its children.

Takt  section
                                      
Time:                                                          The takt time defined at line level, inherited to workstation.

                                      Efficiency:                                        The efficiency defined at line level, inherited to workstation.

                                      Efficiency takt:                      The Takt time multiplied by the Efficiency.

Resources  section
                                      
Operators:                                      Sum of operators. (Each Each assigne  is only counted once)

                                      Theoretical ops.:              Theoretical number of resources (human or machine) needed based on data.

                                      Machines:                                        Sum of machines. (Each assignee is only counted once)

                                      Theoretical mach.:      Theoretical number of resources (human or machine) needed based on data.
