Batch Capacity Board
Pack a known item count into sequential processing batches and reserve setup time.
Prepare your sheet
Use one row per work type observation. Enter Items, Maximum batch, Setup min, Item min. Check that every row belongs to the same review scope.
Decision rule
Each nonempty batch incurs one fixed setup; per-item processing is additive. Different work types run separately.
Worked result
The fictional example contains 2 input rows. Its result is 66 processing minutes.
| Work type | Batches | Setup min | Run min | Total min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statements | 3 | 15 | 41 | 56 |
| Notices | 1 | 4 | 6 | 10 |
