FormulaTrips = Math.max(Math.ceil(items/items_trip),Math.ceil(mass/usable_payload)); Time = Math.max(Math.ceil(items/items_trip),Math.ceil(mass/usable_payload))*cycle

Worked example

Inputs

Items
60 boxes
Items trip
8 boxes/trip
Mass
600 kg
Usable payload
300 kg/trip
Cycle
5 min/trip

Expected results

Trips
8 trips
Time
40 min

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the measured quantities and your own planning assumptions.
  2. Review all calculated outputs and the stated limitations.

Try this example

{
  "items": 60,
  "items_trip": 8,
  "mass": 600,
  "usable_payload": 300,
  "cycle": 5
}

Accuracy and scope

Lower-bound trip estimate for divisible loads. Enter usable payload after people and equipment; individual heavy items and actual loading geometry may require more trips.
