What-If and Scope

Balanced What-If

A balanced what-if removes idle time in this exact pinned snapshot.

highlighted = computed this step

Balanced Loads

The what-if uses cycle 4 and each station load is 4.

loads=4,4,4\text{loads} = 4,4,4

What-If Idle

The balanced what-if has idle time 0.

What-If Efficiency

Efficiency becomes 1 and delay becomes 0.
