What this model is
The whole Bottling Line modeled as one Constraint at 100 bottles/min, with five Interrupts competing on it — this is the line-level rollup. The 5-Constraint model (next card to the right) splits the same line into five per-machine Constraints. Same plant, same answer — close-coupled machines make the line-level rollup and the per-machine view equivalent for throughput.
The line
| Node | Type | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Buffer 0 | Buffer | ∞ supply |
| Bottling Line | Constraint | 100 bottles/min · 5 interrupts |
| Buffer 1 | Buffer | ∞ capacity |
Single Run · 90 days · Weibull(30,1) TTF / Weibull(5,1) downtime · OEE 53.4% · 6.92M bottles
Questions it answers
- "Where's the bottleneck?" (spoiler: at the line level there isn't a structural one)
- "Why is the line at ~53% efficiency?"
- "How does this compare to the 5-Constraint model?"
The same topology on the other track
One Constraint, LEDS-Level Interrupts runs this structure against LEDS-level interrupt data. It reports 53.2% efficiency against 53.4% here — the throughput prediction barely moves. What changes is what the model can tell you about the cause.
