Packaging Rate at 69% target packaging completion rate: a worked example

Suppose target packaging completion rate falls to 69%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate packaging completion rate for bags, totes, supersacks, or bulk containers by comparing accepted packages with total planned packages and a target packout rate.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Accepted (good) bags packed this period: 2,350 bags (held at the documented default)
  • Planned bag count for the period: 2,500 bags (held at the documented default)
  • Target packaging completion rate: 69 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 96)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Packaging completion rate = accepted packages packed ÷ planned packages for period × 100.
  • Packaging completion rate works out to 94 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Packaging rate gap to target works out to -25 points at these inputs.
  • Accepted packages packed works out to 2,350 count at these inputs.
  • Planned packages for period works out to 2,500 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target packaging completion rate sits at 96% and the headline result is 94 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 94 %.
  • It computes the percentage of planned bags that were actually packed and accepted, plus the point gap between that rate and your target. 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.

Results at a glance

  • Packaging completion rate: 94 % (headline result)
  • Packaging rate gap to target: -25 points
  • Accepted packages packed: 2,350 count
  • Planned packages for period: 2,500 count
