The final lesson states the boundary: this is deterministic changeover arithmetic.
highlighted = computed this step
Deterministic
The comparison uses deterministic setup and run times.
deterministic setup and run arithmetic
Not sequencing
It does not prove a sequencing optimum or staffing plan.
outside scope: sequencing optimum and staffing
Not an impact proof
It does not prove quality, queue, or SMED impact.
outside scope: queues, quality, and SMED impact
Honesty note
This is deterministic changeover arithmetic only. It does not model stochastic queues, quality, staffing, a sequencing optimum, or proof of SMED impact.
