Ok, so I'm new here and looking to set up an excel doc for my operations
on the packages per minute they can run at various known speeds.
Now I know the speed of the conveyor in FPM, but I don't know how many
packages will go through at the speeds set. I also have the measurement
of the packages going through the scanner as well.
Now I asked someone and the formula he gave me seems a little off. so in
the example I gave him:
FPM = 625
Each package = 25"
Gap between packages = 4"
He was saying the formula is 625FPM X 12" / 29"
The issue is, the number I'm getting from this calculation doesn't seem
to equal the production numbers in a 20 hour day that we have done
before.
