Equipment waiting time estimates #624

Open mnquintana opened 10 years ago

mnquintana commented 10 years ago

Per our discussion today, if an equipment model is completely out of equipment items (particularly if they're out because they're checked out and overdue), then we should calculate and display an estimate for the amount of time before they're likely to be available again.

For new instances we'd have to set some kind of default, but for other instances we should write an algorithm to average the time equipment has spent being overdue. If we wanted to be extra fancy, rather than averaging the time spent over due for all equipment models, we could calculate estimates per category and per equipment model, showing per equipment model by default unless that equipment model was never overdue.

This is pretty complex but worth adding eventually. Adding to the Wish List.

Ditto to the above; adding some basic statistical analysis / machine learning would be awesome but not remotely high priorty :stuck_out_tongue:.
