Process Skids, Modular Equipment & Packaged Plants worked example

Module Shipping Cube at 99% transport-ready availability: a worked example

This scenario runs the module shipping cube calculation on the strong side: 99% transport-ready availability, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when module shipping cube in process skids, modular equipment and packaged plants is being committed and you need a throughput number you can defend.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Modules loaded per shipping window: 1,200 units (unchanged)
  • Loading and securement window: 8 hr (unchanged)
  • Transport-ready availability: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 90)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Raw module shipping cube = completed output รท runtime) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 149 units for effective throughput, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 150 units for raw throughput.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 99 % for efficiency.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 hr for runtime.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where transport-ready availability sits at 90% and the headline result is 135 units, this scenario comes in 10% above the baseline at 149 units.
  • Use it when planning trailer bookings and crane windows for a modular or packaged-plant shipping campaign, or when your laydown yard is backing up and you need to know real dispatch capacity. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Effective throughput: 149 units (headline result)
  • Raw throughput: 150 units
  • Efficiency: 99 %
  • Runtime: 8 hr

Run it with your numbers

  • Every input above is editable in the live Module Shipping Cube calculator, which recalculates instantly and can be shared with the inputs intact.
