Description
Total supplied minor-stop durations and count entries.
Production quantities distinguish planned time, operating time, setup, cycle time, demand, first-pass good units and accepted rework. A local availability term is not complete OEE, and equal time-per-unit arithmetic is not measured capacity. Counts and durations must share one nonoverlapping accounting scope.
Total supplied minor-stop durations and count entries.
When to use this tool
Use Machine Minorstop Loss Time Term when you already have stopDurations and need to total supplied minor-stop durations and count entries.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter stopDurations. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read totalStopTime, stopCount. Use the output convention below.
Require every stop duration>=0; sum values as numbers and return array length as stopCount.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| stopDurations | Stop Durations | Required. Array of finite number; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| totalStopTime | Total Stop Time | Required. Finite number. |
| stopCount | Number of supplied entries, including zero durations; overlapping time intervals are not checked. | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- An empty list totals zero; entries may overlap or contain zero durations. No stops are detected and no classification or full production loss is established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the full time study, production ledger and process definition before interpreting performance. Use a complete capacity, OEE or workflow analysis when bottlenecks, quality, concurrency and operating constraints matter beyond one local term.
