Three batches require 210 stated minutes under the supplied setup rule.

Before / afterCompare batching when each run has setup work
Weigh total setup demand against a stated batch deadline before grouping work.
The decision compares setup frequency and deadline feasibility rather than removing preparation from a work budget.

01 · Inspect the inputs
Every record stays visible
| Plan | Batches | Execution | Setup | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One batch of six | 1 | 120 min | 30 min | 150 min |
| Three batches of two | 3 | 120 min | 90 min | 210 min |

How the case leads to a decision
Execution=6×20=120 minutes. Setup is 1×30 or 3×30; total demand is 150 or 210. Different arrival or due times can reverse which plan is feasible.
The bounded result
One six-item batch uses 150 minutes; three two-item batches use 210. The sixty-minute setup saving is conditional on the common availability and deadline, not a universal batching recommendation.

Compare the decision quality
Illustrative before / afterSynthetic planning case: Six copy checks take twenty minutes each. Every review batch requires thirty minutes of setup. All six are available before one common deadline.
One eligible common-cutoff batch requires 150 stated minutes, with waiting and quality still to review.
Confirm arrival and deadline conditions
Owner role · Work coordinator
Evidence: All six items are available before the same review cutoff.
Charge setup per actual batch
Owner role · Reviewer
Evidence: One versus three setups explains the sixty-minute demand difference.
Check waiting consequences
Owner role · Delivery lead
Evidence: The chosen batch still meets each required deadline and evidence boundary.
Decision to make: One six-item batch uses 150 minutes; three two-item batches use 210. The sixty-minute setup saving is conditional on the common availability and deadline, not a universal batching recommendation.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
One six-item batch uses 150 minutes; three two-item batches use 210. The sixty-minute setup saving is conditional on the common availability and deadline, not a universal batching recommendation. Execution=6×20=120 minutes. Setup is 1×30 or 3×30; total demand is 150 or 210. Different arrival or due times can reverse which plan is feasible. The example does not measure quality, actual effort or respondent waiting. Its common-cutoff assumption is essential.
Put the outline to work
- Confirm arrival and deadline conditions. Check: All six items are available before the same review cutoff.
- Charge setup per actual batch. Check: One versus three setups explains the sixty-minute demand difference.
- Check waiting consequences. Check: The chosen batch still meets each required deadline and evidence boundary.

Questions about this workflow
Does the lower total mean batching is always faster for users?
No. Items may wait longer for a batch; this example compares staffing demand under a common cutoff.
Can I claim a sixty-minute real saving?
Not from invented times. Verify actual setup and review evidence first.
