Run at rate

proving the quoted production rate

A run at rate (capacity verification) is a production run of the quoted number of parts at the planned cycle time, with the planned people, tools and gauges. It shows that the process can deliver the volume the customer ordered with acceptable quality, and shows the real bottlenecks and losses.
