Session, Output and Labour Utilisation / Standard production / Material yield
Compare participant counts, continuous output or productive hours with a user-defined capacity. Compare actual output with your standard for the same unit and period. Values above 100% are valid arithmetic, not a quality rating. Material yield uses good output 0–input and input > 0, with matching continuous units; it does not price losses or predict recovery.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Model: Participants, Output capacity, Labour hours; Standard production; Material yield
- Continuous output and hours allow decimals including values below 1; first value ≥ 0 and second > 0, both finite, with no count-based upper limit. Counts retain whole-number ranges. Use matching units and periods; hours must cover the same people.
- Same unit and period for output; same people and period for hours. User definitions; no fixed benchmark.
Inputs and limits
Whole participant counts only: current 0–1,000,000,000; chosen limit 1–1,000,000,000. Above-limit inputs are allowed and flagged. Continuous output and hours allow decimals including values below 1; first value ≥ 0 and second > 0, both finite, with no count-based upper limit. Counts retain whole-number ranges. Use matching units and periods; hours must cover the same people. Numbers outside the range, non-finite arithmetic or positive values lost to floating-point underflow or precision loss cannot be reported. Display uses 6 significant digits; the report includes unrounded JavaScript Number values, not exact decimal arithmetic.
Interpretation
Capacity basis and the definition of productive time change the meaning. Negative spare/non-productive values flag excess or inconsistent inputs. Training, maintenance and breaks are not automatically waste; utilisation does not measure profit, quality or safety. No universal target is assumed.
Model assumptions
Same unit and period for output; same people and period for hours. User definitions; no fixed benchmark. Does not determine a safe or legal capacity, staffing, evacuation or venue compliance. The limit is entirely your assumption. Not engineering design or safety advice.
Standard production / Material yield
Compare actual output with your standard for the same unit and period. Values above 100% are valid arithmetic, not a quality rating. Material yield uses good output 0–input and input > 0, with matching continuous units; it does not price losses or predict recovery. 100 × A / S; A − S. 100 × G / I; 100 × (1 − G / I); I − G.
GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
How are the three models calculated?
Counts use clamped remaining places and excess. Output uses 100 × A/M and signed M−A. Hours use 100 × H/T and signed T−H. Record unit, period, basis and people consistently.
Are these results a design or safety recommendation?
No. These are arithmetic estimates, not engineering design or safety advice. Inputs stay in this browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
What do the production and yield models measure?
Compare actual output with your standard for the same unit and period. Values above 100% are valid arithmetic, not a quality rating. Material yield uses good output 0–input and input > 0, with matching continuous units; it does not price losses or predict recovery.
