What-If and Scope

Honest Staffing Scope

The final lesson states the boundary: deterministic takt staffing arithmetic only.

highlighted = computed this step

Deterministic Staffing Arithmetic

The model uses deterministic time, demand, and work-content inputs.

Not Line Balance

It does not assign tasks, balance stations, or prove ergonomic feasibility.

Not a Staffing Policy

It does not model skill mix, absenteeism, variability, or staffing policy.

Honesty Note

This is deterministic takt staffing arithmetic only. It does not model skill mix, absenteeism, line balance, ergonomics, variability, or staffing policy.
