manufacturing.capacity
Capacity against routed load per work centre over a period, with efficiency, utilisation and overload flags.
1.0.0 · published 2026-10-03 by charlie · Anterra
Pinned by 14 tests, run in TypeScript, Python and Rust.
What it does
Capacity requirements for a period, work centre by work centre:
capacity = available time x efficiency x utilisation load = the standard minutes of every routed operation in the period load % = load / capacity
For example
work_centre_load(work centres ×5, loads ×5)→ ×5 a week across five centres: CNC 1938 min capacity against 2000 routed (two loads) is 103.20%; the lathe's 479.52 min is overloaded by 480; a painted-out centre has no percentage; packing at 110% efficiency has 950 sparework_centre_load(work centres ×1, loads ×1)→ ×1 a load exactly equal to capacity is full, not overloadedwork_centre_load(work centres ×1, loads ×1)→ ×1 one minute over is an overload
The function
The same function in TypeScript, Python and Rust, pinned by the same tests. Pick your language; the choice follows you around the registry.
pub fn work_centre_load(work_centres: &[WorkCentre], loads: &[RoutedLoad]) -> Vec<CapacityLoad>
| work_centres | WorkCentre[] | each work centre once, with its available time in the period |
| loads | RoutedLoad[] | routed minutes from orders in the same period; several per centre are added |
| returns | CapacityLoad[] | one entry per work centre, in the order given |

fune build
With that line in your source, in a Rust project (language rust in fune.project), fune build resolves it and its 1 dependency, pins them in fune.lock, downloads only the Rust package of each, and builds the code above into your project’s .fune/build, one readable file per capability with a header linking back here. A crate’s build.rs runs it before every compile. Or pin a range in fune.project and build in one step:
fune add manufacturing.capacity
The manifest, vectors and README with only the Rust implementation. Install it without the registry with fune add ./manufacturing.capacity-1.0.0-rust.fune, or fetch it from a terminal with fune pull manufacturing.capacity@1.0.0:rust.
The whole function, every language, is one file too: manufacturing.capacity-1.0.0.fune, 24,339 bytes, sha256 800880c66390d77d913aba0819f30b53e18201a1e71deffe04f2b59a02f81183. It installs into a project of any language.
Customise it in your app
The seams this capability offers. Put a marker directly above a function of your own and fune build wires it into the built code; the package on the registry is not changed, the built file’s header lists it under CUSTOMISED, and fune hooks lists every hook in the project. How hooks work.
before — your function gets the arguments and returns them, changed or not, or throws to refuse the call.
// fune: before manufacturing.capacity
after — your function gets the result and the arguments, and returns the final result.
// fune: after manufacturing.capacity
replace — inside this capability’s code only, calls to a dependency go to your function, with the same signature. Other capabilities that use it are unaffected; write in * to replace it everywhere.
// fune: replace math.rational in manufacturing.capacity
step — your function runs at a numbered point inside the function’s body, receives the in-scope values it names as parameters, and may return replacements. List the points with fune show manufacturing.capacity --steps.
// fune: step manufacturing.capacity after <n|label>
Tests
A version published now needs at least 8 tests for every function, and one that expects the error for each function that throws; the registry refuses it otherwise. fune verify --all runs each case in TypeScript, Python and Rust, and a project runs them again with fune verify. This page lists the cases; it does not run them. The exact JSON is vectors.json.

More from the author
With 2,400 minutes scheduled (a week of 8-hour days), 95% efficiency and 85% utilisation, a work centre can deliver 1,938 standard minutes; 2,000 minutes of routed work is 103.20% of that, overloaded by 62 minutes.
**Utilisation and efficiency.** Utilisation is the share of scheduled time the centre actually works (after breakdowns, waiting and absence), so it cannot exceed 100%. Efficiency is standard minutes earned per minute worked, and can exceed 100% when the standards are loose. Both are basis points.
**Overload is decided on the exact capacity.** Capacity is an exact fraction (`math.rational`) and a centre is overloaded when its load is more than that fraction. `capacityMinutes` reports it rounded down, which agrees with the flag because loads are whole minutes: 480 minutes of load against 479.52 minutes of capacity is overloaded, and a tool that rounded capacity to the nearest minute (480) would call it exactly full. `spareMinutes` is capacity minus load, so it is negative exactly when `overloaded` is true.
**Zero capacity.** A centre with no capacity in the period (down for maintenance, utilisation 0) has no load percentage: `loadBasisPoints` is null, and any load on it is an overload.
**Rules.** Every load must name a work centre in the list, and each centre appears once; loads for the same centre are added. Times are whole minutes, not negative. Results follow the order of `workCentres`, including centres with no load. The period is whatever the caller's available times and loads cover: a day, a week, a month.
