Step 2 • Define equipment behavior
The next step is to specify the basic run parameters (e.g., run speeds), characteristics (e.g.,
reliability, loss), and dimensions (e.g., length, width, capacity) for each individual element
in the line. For example, you might have collected and organized data about the equip-
ment in your line as follows.
Processing Elements:
Element Name
Nom. Run Speed
(units/min)
Unit Loss
Reliability
for a Week
Cleaner 500 .01% .97
Filler 650 .01% .99
Inspector 500 1.0% .98
Depalletizer 600 .01% .99
