  • Method Details

    • supports

      public boolean supports(ProcessEquipmentInterface equipment)
      Checks if this strategy supports the given equipment.
      Specified by:
      supports in interface EquipmentCapacityStrategy
      Parameters:

      Specified by:
      getPriority in interface EquipmentCapacityStrategy
      Returns:
      the priority value (higher = more preferred)

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Gets a descriptive name for this strategy.
      Specified by:
      getName in interface EquipmentCapacityStrategy
      Returns:
      strategy name

    • getEquipmentClass

      public Class<? extends ProcessEquipmentInterface> getEquipmentClass()
      Gets the equipment class this strategy handles.
      Specified by:
      getEquipmentClass in interface EquipmentCapacityStrategy
      Returns:
      the equipment class

    • evaluateCapacity

      public double evaluateCapacity(ProcessEquipmentInterface equipment)
      Evaluates the current capacity utilization of the equipment.

      Returns a value between 0 and 1+ where:

      • 0.0 = no load
      • 1.0 = at design capacity
      • >1.0 = over capacity
      Specified by:
      evaluateCapacity in interface EquipmentCapacityStrategy
      Parameters:
      equipment - the equipment to evaluate
      Returns:
      capacity utilization as a fraction

    • evaluateMaxCapacity
