Case Pack Quantity with total units in run of 140 units: a worked example
Suppose total units in run falls to 140 units. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Work out how many units go in each case by dividing total units by the number of cases.
The inputs for this scenario
- Total units in run: 140 units (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 288)
- Number of cases: 12 cases (held at the documented default)
- Pack rounding factor: 1 x (held at the documented default)
Working through the calculation
- The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Units per case = total units รท number of cases.
- Units per case works out to 11.67 units / case at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
- Units per case before rounding works out to 11.67 units / case at these inputs.
- Pack rounding factor works out to 1 x at these inputs.
- Number of cases works out to 12 cases at these inputs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where total units in run sits at 288 units and the headline result is 24 units / case, this scenario comes in 51.39% below the baseline at 11.67 units / case.
- It divides total units by the number of cases to get units per case, then multiplies by a rounding factor to reach the final pack configuration. 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
- Units per case: 11.67 units / case (headline result)
- Units per case before rounding: 11.67 units / case
- Pack rounding factor: 1 x
- Number of cases: 12 cases
