  • Turns used warehouse space utilization amount, available warehouse space utilization amount, target warehouse space utilization into a utilization for warehouse space utilization in packaging and logistics.

Formula used

  • Warehouse space utilization = used warehouse space utilization amount รท available warehouse space utilization amount
  • Warehouse space utilization gap = target utilization - utilization

Inputs explained

  • Used warehouse space utilization amount: Enter consumed time, load, capacity, floor space, labor, machine hours, or test hours.
  • Available warehouse space utilization amount: Enter available time, capacity, space, labor, machine hours, or budget for the same period.
