Compression Pack Rate at 68% target compression pack rate: a worked example

This worked example runs the compression pack rate numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 68% target compression pack rate instead of the typical 95%. Calculate the effective completion rate of your compression roll-pack line, comparing actual packed units against the shift schedule to track on-time performance.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Mattresses compressed and roll-packed: 92 mattresses (held at the documented default)
  • Mattresses scheduled for the run: 100 mattresses (held at the documented default)
  • Target compression pack rate: 68 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 95)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Actual pack rate (%) = mattresses compressed ÷ total scheduled × 100.
  • Rate works out to 92 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to target works out to -24 points at these inputs.
  • Affected count works out to 92 count at these inputs.
  • Total count works out to 100 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target compression pack rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 92 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92 %.
  • Use it at shift end or run end to verify the compression cell kept up with the build plan and to flag short-falls before they hit shipping. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Rate: 92 % (headline result)
  • Gap to target: -24 points
  • Affected count: 92 count
  • Total count: 100 count
