Aggregate Stockpile Days Calculator
Aggregate Stockpile Days helps batch plants, quarries, and building-product plants judge whether sand, stone, recycled aggregate, or specialty aggregate inventory can cover production. It converts usable tons and daily draw into protected supply days.
What this calculator does
- Estimate protected days of aggregate supply after applying a safety stock multiplier.
- a plant needs to know how many days its aggregate stockpile can support planned production
- The result is protected days of aggregate supply after safety coverage.
Formula used
- Unprotected days = usable inventory ÷ daily demand
- Aggregate Stockpile Days = unprotected days ÷ safety stock multiplier
Inputs explained
- Usable aggregate in stockpile: Use usable aggregate in stockpile from the same material, product, equipment, batch, shift, or order scope.
- Average daily aggregate demand: Use average daily aggregate demand from the same material, product, equipment, batch, shift, or order scope.
- Safety stock multiplier for weather and delivery risk: Use safety stock multiplier for weather and delivery risk from the same material, product, equipment, batch, shift, or order scope.
How to use the result
- Use it before weather events, supplier outages, high-volume pours, shutdowns, or quarry delivery changes.
- Moisture, contamination, segregation, inaccessible pile volume, and demand spikes can reduce usable days.
Common questions
- What is Aggregate Stockpile Days for? Estimate protected days of aggregate supply after applying a safety stock multiplier.
- What information do I need before using it? Enter usable stockpile tons, average daily usage, and safety multiplier.
- When is the result only an estimate? Moisture, contamination, segregation, inaccessible pile volume, and demand spikes can reduce usable days.
- How can I use the result? Use the result to schedule deliveries, adjust production, reserve inventory, or approve alternate materials.
