Balance result view

Watch video manual: Analyze the balance result

Watch video manual:

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

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 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                 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 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.
