The formula to calculate the Distribution Factor (DF) is:
\[ DF = \frac{IL}{TL} \]
Where:
A distribution factor is a ratio that represents the proportion of an individual load to the total load. It is often used in engineering, logistics, and financial planning to allocate resources, costs, or workloads among various components or units. Understanding the distribution factor is crucial for efficient planning and optimization of resources.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Distribution Factor:
\[ DF = \frac{50}{200} = 0.25 \]
The Distribution Factor is 0.25.
