About Production Loss Regions

The Production Loss Regions section displays the calculations that summarize your Reliability Losses and your Efficiency and Utilization Losses. The Production Loss Regions section contains various rows, depending on which lines have been created on the analysis.

The Production Loss Regions section provides following rows of information:

• Total Loss: Contains the sum of the Reliability Loss and the Efficiency/Utilization Loss.
• Reliability Loss: Contains the sum of the production loss and is the region that lies between the Minimum Production Output value and the Demonstrated Line, below the Process Reliability Line. If breakpoints exist, then the Reliability Loss is also the sum of all the Sub Reliability Loss regions.

• Sub Reliability Loss: For the first Sub Reliability Loss row, contains the sum of the losses between the Demonstrated Line and the first breakpoint below the Process Reliability Line. For subsequent Sub Reliability Loss rows, contains the sum of the losses between the previous breakpoint and the next breakpoint below the Process Reliability Line.

  Note: Sub Reliability Loss rows will appear only if breakpoints exist on the Production Analysis. The number of Sub Reliability Loss rows will correspond to the number of breakpoints that you have inserted.

  All the Reliability Losses are calculated below the Process Reliability Line, therefore, the values for the Quantity and Cost will change if you change the location of the Process Reliability Line.

• Efficiency/Utilization Loss: The sum of the production losses between the Demonstrated Line and the Nameplate Line.

For each row on the Production Loss Regions section, the following columns are displayed:

• Name: Contains the name of the production loss region.
• Quantity: Contains a value representing the total Production Loss for each region. To specify the units used to calculate these losses, you can change the unit of measure.
• Cost: Contains a value representing the amount of profit that was lost due to the Production Loss in each region. This value is always rounded up to the nearest dollar. To specify the currency, you can change the margin currency.
