Calculation method
Calculation method
Full or partial container loads required
Round up harvest mass / usable capacity.
Complete cycles per container
Round down window / cycle duration; every load must complete its whole cycle inside the window.
Container fleet required
Round up required loads / complete cycles per container.
Fleet window capacity (kg)
Fleet × cycles per container × usable container capacity.
Spare window capacity (kg)
Fleet window capacity − harvest mass.
Symbols and units
- a
- Harvest to move within the window (kg)
- b
- Usable capacity per container (kg)
- c
- Available harvest window (hours)
- d
- Measured full container cycle (hours)
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
- Uniform complete container cycles, with the first available at window start. Does not simulate queues, staggered arrivals, partial cycles, washing bottlenecks or transport capacity.
