BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Each product rounds up to its own batch count before the delivery total is calculated. Batch sizes and delivery capacities are supplied by your supplier; this tool does not determine transport limits.

Deliveries = ceil(Σceil(product units / batch size) / batches per delivery)Calculated with normalised units
