Line-Side Replenishment Savings Calculator at 54% deliveries captured by automation: a worked example

Suppose deliveries captured by automation falls to 54%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate savings from automated line-side replenishment moves, savings per delivery, automation capture share, and fixed route setup cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Line-side replenishment deliveries: 12,500 deliveries (held at the documented default)
  • Savings per replenishment delivery: 2.4 $ / delivery (held at the documented default)
  • Deliveries captured by automation: 54 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 75)
  • Fixed replenishment improvement value: 4,500 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Captured replenishment savings = line-side replenishment deliveries × savings per delivery × deliveries captured by automation.
  • Net line-side replenishment savings works out to 20,700 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Savings per replenishment delivery works out to 1.66 $ / delivery at these inputs.
  • Captured replenishment savings works out to 16,200 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed replenishment improvement value works out to 4,500 $ at these inputs.

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 23.33% below the baseline at 20,700 $.
  • It computes net annual savings by multiplying replenishment deliveries by per-delivery savings and the share captured by automation, then adding any fixed process-improvement value. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
