Line-Side Replenishment Savings Calculator at 86% deliveries captured by automation: a worked example

This scenario runs the line-side replenishment savings calculator calculation on the strong side: 86% deliveries captured by automation, with every other input held at its documented default. a plant operations team needs to value automated or standardized line-side replenishment

The inputs for this scenario

  • Line-side replenishment deliveries: 12,500 deliveries (unchanged)
  • Savings per replenishment delivery: 2.4 $ / delivery (unchanged)
  • Deliveries captured by automation: 86 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 75)
  • Fixed replenishment improvement value: 4,500 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Captured replenishment savings = line-side replenishment deliveries × savings per delivery × deliveries captured by automation) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 30,300 $ for net line-side replenishment savings, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2.42 $ / delivery for savings per replenishment delivery.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 25,800 $ for captured replenishment savings.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,500 $ for fixed replenishment improvement value.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where deliveries captured by automation sits at 75% and the headline result is 27,000 $, this scenario comes in 12.22% above the baseline at 30,300 $.
  • Use it during the business-case stage of an AMR or AGV intralogistics project, or when re-justifying an existing fleet against actual capture rates. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Net line-side replenishment savings: 30,300 $ (headline result)
