Logistics & inventory

ABC/XYZ analysis, inventory turnover and carrying cost, economic lot size, safety stock, kanban, dimensional weight, palletizing and truck and container loading.

Dimensional weight

Paste the package list (length, width, height, quantity and weight) and get total volume, DIM weight from the carrier factor, chargeable weight per shipment or per package, estimated freight and the freight split by item.

DIM weight, chargeable weight

Pallet calculator

Enter the box and pallet (GMA, Euro, Brazil PBR, Asia or custom) and get boxes per layer in column or block patterns, layer count, boxes per pallet, weight and height, cube use and a layer drawing.

Boxes per layer and pallet

Truck and container loading

Pick the vehicle (20′, 40′ or 40′ HC container, 53′ dry van, European 13.6 m trailer or straight truck) and the load unit (pallets or cartons) and see how many fit by space and by payload, which limit governs, floor, cube and payload use and a floor plan.

Pallets per trailer and container

EOQ and EPQ

Calculate the economic order quantity (Harris) and economic production quantity (Taft), the total cost curve, savings versus your current lot and how far setup cost must fall to run small lots.

Setup cost, holding cost, lot size

Safety stock and reorder point

Calculate safety stock and reorder point accounting for usage and supplier lead time variability, for continuous or periodic review, and check the service level with a simulation.

Service level, variability, lead time, simulation

ABC and XYZ analysis

Paste your item list with cost and usage to classify inventory by ABC (value) and XYZ (demand regularity), see the Pareto chart and the suggested replenishment policy for each class.

Pareto, classes, policy matrix

Inventory turnover and carrying cost

Compute inventory turnover and days of supply, annual carrying cost (capital, storage, insurance, losses), slow-moving stock and the cash freed by lowering coverage, with payback.
