Mixed Model Map Calculations

The mixed model map enables you to design and monitor each part of the line design process. The mixed model map bases calculations on the date range entered in the Mixed Model Map window if this date range falls within the forecast date range. Otherwise the forecast date range will be used.

Mixed Model Map Calculations Formula Key

D = Total demand

B = Boost percent in decimal form (Entered in mixed model map)

H = Hours/day (Entered in mixed model map)

# of Days = Number of demand days (Entered in the mixed model map)

TC = Time conversion factor

TM = Machine time for a product and process (or line operation) combination

TL = Labor time for a product and process (or line operation) combination

TE = Elapsed time for a product and process (or line operation) combination

AVG = A function meaning "take the average of..."

PlnNET = Net planning percent in decimal form

CYREV = Reverse cumulative yield

M = The number of machines used at a particular process or line operation


For example, this means, for a given process, take the sum of the process volume over all products displayed in the mixed model map.
