Retail Case Pack Utilization at 99% target case pack utilization rate: a worked example

Push target case pack utilization rate up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when retail case pack utilization in toys, sporting goods and recreational products needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Units packed into full retail case packs: 8 count (unchanged)
  • Total units in the shipment or run: 250 count (unchanged)
  • Target case pack utilization rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Retail case pack utilization rate = retail case pack utilization count ÷ total retail case pack utilization population × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for retail case pack utilization rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for retail case pack utilization gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for retail case pack utilization count.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total retail case pack utilization population.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target case pack utilization rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It computes the percentage of units that ship in full retail case packs out of the total run, then reports the gap to your target rate. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Retail case pack utilization rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
