It’s been a while since I’ve updated the BG stats, so here goes!
Distribution
Distribution will be 7am and 1pm going forward (not 2pm). Make sure check out this great thread by @bebe80 for step by step instructions on getting a BG!
Processing Rates
RotR’s operations had improved pretty steadily from July until the end of November, but then RotR had a horrific week in early December (around the time all our Liners were there). But they seem to have fixed something after that, because BG processing rates skyrocketed to levels never seen before and have remained there ever since. An average day now sees ~16 BGs/hr processed, with <14 being a “bad day.” Previously 14 BG/hr would have qualified as exceptional.
Delays
Along with installing plexiglass, fewer delays has been the key to increasing capacity and throughput.
| Week | Delays / day | Min / delay | Total downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 15th | 4.4 | 37 | 1150 min |
| Oct 1st | 2.6 | 29 | 530 min |
| Oct 14th | 2.4 | 29 | 500 min |
| Nov 9th | 2.7 | 28 | 525 min |
| Dec 22nd | 1.1 | 29 | 230 min |
Downtime
Other than that bad week in early December, RotR is now running over 90% of the time on most days. Downtime is as low as 3%, averaging maybe 7% (note: this may capture cleaning cycles since a “delay” is measured as any time a new BG is not called for more than 15 min).
To sum it up, now is the smoothest RotR has been operating since it opened over a year ago. Let’s hope that trend continues!
