Common questions

  • Why use this container utilization tool for supply chain and procurement? Calculate container utilization from used cube and available cube. You get a utilization you can defend before quoting, scheduling, or sign-off.
  • What numbers should I focus on first? used amount, available amount, target utilization usually move the utilization most. Pull from measured supply chain and procurement runs, supplier data, and recent quotes rather than memory.
  • What do I do with this number? Use the gap to target to argue for or against more capacity in supply chain and procurement planning.
  • What should I double-check before acting? Confirm available time is net of planned downtime; using gross hours inflates the gap.
