Calculation method
Calculation method
Purchase units by size
Reserve every entered minimum pack, then allocate remaining whole packs by demand weights with largest remainders and input-order ties; multiply by common pack size.
Purchase packs by size
Reserved packs+weighted remaining-pack allocation.
Units used
Sum whole allocated packs×common pack size.
Unspent unit budget
Unit budget−used units, including any remainder smaller than one pack.
Total whole packs
floor(unit budget/common pack size).
Symbols and units
- a
- Sizes: name, relative demand weight, minimum purchase packs
- b
- Total unit purchase budget
- c
- Common units per indivisible size pack
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- An explicit minimum-pack-first allocation under supplied size weights and one common pack size. Demand is not forecast and the method does not claim a globally optimal assortment.
