Improvement and Scope

Honest Capacity Scope

Capacity arithmetic is useful because its assumptions are visible.

highlighted = computed this step

Base capacity

The base process capacity is 4 units per hour.

base capacity=4\text{base capacity}=4
Capacity scopeThe arithmetic is exact, but the model boundary is narrow.base and improved scenarioscapacityoutputunmetbase441improved662

Improved capacity

The improved process capacity is 6 units per hour.

improved capacity=6\text{improved capacity}=6

Not modeled

The model does not include variability, queues, setup losses, quality defects, batching, or learning curves.

Honesty note

This is deterministic capacity arithmetic only. It does not model variability, queues, setup losses, quality defects, batching, or learning curves. Pixel positions are rounded for layout; every displayed capacity, output, demand, and utilization is exact.
