The peak orders are not the equipment capacity. Some orders were not made, some covered more than one pot and others, although early, could not be delivered because the same other dish had not been completed. So “80 by 8kW, 120 by 12kW” is not an optional rule. The correct starting point is the order line, the menu card and the agreed delivery point for each item.
Rewrite the peak into a demand table with deadlines
From the order system, the original to the single timescale is retained and five fields are added to each dish: whether to use the boiler, the version of the dish, the approved single batch, the input time and the time at which the whole order must be delivered. The food without a workcard does not fill in the batch; the different dishes, even if they have the same number, do not automatically collide.
| Original Fields | Schedule Fields | Answerable questions |
|---|---|---|
| By single moment, order number, food and copies | Number of boilers relevant, starting point at the earliest | When does work actually get to the pot? |
| Workcards and lot | It's an essential, non-mixable task. | How many pots does this window have to finish? |
| Promised to deliver the same dish | When each pot is finished at the latest | What's late? |
| Cancelled, missing, returned and temporarily added | Movement control changes and causes | Is the backlog from demand or implementation unusual? |
The analysis may be combined after one minute, five minutes or fifteen minutes, but the original timescale is not covered. If the order is concentrated in two minutes, the 15 minutes will, on average, flatten the short peak; if 80 is distributed for two hours, it should not be confused with the 80 minutes.
The 80 and 120 numbers are only used to demonstrate the breaking order.
The following is an explicit assumption, not a door-to-door study. It is assumed that window A has 80 units, of which 48 are for cooking; window B has 120 units, of which 72 are for cooking. Assuming that these dishes are divided into three types of operations, the corresponding batch has been approved by the project, so that the number of copies can be converted upward to the pot. If there are 20 dishes in the first class and four in each pot, it should be in the fifth; the rest of the food must be on their own cards. In addition, the total number of copies cannot be divided by an average batch.
Once the two windows have received the pot, it is not directly comparable. Each pot can only start when the raw material is ready and should be completed by the full bill deadline. Early foods that are not ready for the raw materials cannot take advantage of the time gap; the number of copies that have come out of the pot and are waiting to be served cannot be delivered in full.
Use the historical time line to replay it.
In the case of existing shops, the real events were replayed with the existing equipment. Each pot is lined up for start-up time, actual start-up, end-up, end-of-work determination and recovery readiness, with simultaneous preparation, boiler, personnel and handover. The availability gap is due to empty, but raw materials are not available; the equipment is ready but is not operated, and it is a scheduling or mission conflict; and the continued use of the pot and multiple active deadlines have been breached to justify a further review of the equipment programme.
Do not delete the failure while playing back. Follow-up movements are altered by the number of pots taken back from work, necessary cleaning, change of orders, interruption of personnel and natural alarms. Only this effect is reported in the small sample, which does not push an anomaly into a long-term frequency or remove it from the peak record.
Establishment of two movement control boundaries instead of one “per hour production”
The first boundary is the cut-off time: how many of the required pots are available under the existing menus, people and batches before their respective end points. The second boundary is the recovery of the residual amount: when a pot is returned to work, the raw materials are late or temporarily added, there is an unadjusted gap in the tasks that follow. Just how many pots will be completed in one hour and both messages will be lost.
A window may miss its own cut-off, even if the total number of pots is complete; in turn, the heavy capacity of the pots does not necessarily mean that power is insufficient, as time is available for frequent switching, bulk design or necessary recovery. The schedule should first list the gaps that can be corrected through menus, materials, shifts or turnovers, and then retain those that really require a response from the new equipment.
Parallel assignments cannot count the same employee twice.
The movement of the pan is also subject to a personnel feasibility check. An employee may be able to guard another task that is automatically running during the same time period, but cannot perform two actions that require continuous operation at the same time. The schedule therefore separates direct operations, non-departible monitoring, waiting lists for other assignments and unusual handling. If the simulation schedule defaults that the same person completes the required action at the same time in both pots, even if the equipment time can be down, the option is not feasible.
Many people work together while keeping calendar time and person minutes. The two men dealt with the anomaly once in five minutes, with the direct delay in the follow-up pot likely to be five minutes and the input of 10 people minutes. Separate numbers allow for simultaneous assessment of delivery and scheduling, and avoid the use of a “average recovery time” to hide human occupation.
Don't just play back the busiest day.
One-day peaks can expose stress points, but they may be accompanied by promotions, group orders, missing materials, new arrivals or other anomalies. Several representative windows should be selected first, with menu versions, shifts, promotion status, personnel and missing items kept. If a window causes a backlog due to a particular large bill, the report can say that it breaks through the border under such conditions and should not be seen directly as a daily necessity.
On the other hand, the peaks can be flooded with a full-month average. Typical windows and pressure windows can be reported simultaneously, but they are not combined into an " average curve " . After changes in menus, delivery commitments, shifts or single-pot batches, you also need to mark a new version and do not treat old resets with changed conditions as current evidence.
The decision page needs to show the results if not bought
Decision-making should not presuppose the choice of one of the three candidate specifications. The next step might be to change the material; to adjust menus or batches if from frequent switching; and to assess appointments and preparation if only certain types of group orders cause shocks. Only after these disposals will there be a re-emergible gap in the pot and new or replacement equipment enter the same decision page.
The decision sheet also lists the delivery boundaries to be accepted after “no-buy” and the synergy of raw materials, people and packages that will not automatically disappear after “purchase”. Thus, the equipment programme is a response to a defined gap, rather than endorsement of all peak operational issues with greater power.
Decision-making should also have the trigger for retrial. The original movement control boundary would need to be recalculated when the menu increases or decreases, changes in individual batches, tight delivery commitments, staffing adjustments or new group order patterns emerge. This does not have to redo all the work, but it is important to indicate which input has expired and which windows have to be replayed to avoid placing the old 80 or 120 conclusions on different operating conditions.
For each re-examination, old and new inputs are retained to determine whether the result changes from demand, personnel or pot conditions. If the total number of orders in the new window is higher, but the number of workplace-related copies is lower, the volume pressure should not be increased by the increase in the total. Only retroactive input differences can explain the change in the new schedule.
Only when the capacity gap is established will the candidate be asked for specifications
Three simulator pages rated XC-300DC-G-8T, 10T and 12T as 8,000W, 10,000W and 12,000W, respectively. [1][2][3] These pages can be used to identify candidates for procurement, but do not answer the required pots, deadlines and abnormal balances of the store and therefore cannot be written directly into the corresponding capacity.
Questions addressed to suppliers and project engineers should arise from the above-mentioned gaps: what are the defined tasks for the candidate, what are the conditions for the power supply, operation, access and overhaul of each of the slots, and how to record when the task is not completed or the finished product is not satisfactory. The selection and engineering of the food items will continue to be carried out by the respective responsible parties and the process will be shortened without a higher figure of power.
The final delivery was not a “80/120 recommended power” poster, but three materials: a replayable original order event, a table of pot requirements with the earliest start and the latest time of completion, and a list of gaps that divided the causes of the delay into materials, personnel, boilers, switching and anomalies. Only these three information points together to the lack of sufficient capacity in the pot, and the replacement or addition of the equipment is the next step in evidence.
