Editable parameters that drive all HC calculations — changes update Shift Plan instantly
⚙ Distribution Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| % of DD chute | % | AH5 |
| % of Non-Con | % | AH6 |
| % of sortable (Zone A/B/C/P) | % | AH7 |
| % of below 0.1 KG | % | AH8 |
| Shipment per pallet (Large) | AH9 | |
| Shipment per pallet (VCRI) | AH10 |
💡 These percentages are used in the HC formulas. Changing them updates all HC calculations immediately.
📈 Process Rates (Units/Hour)
| Process | Rate (UPH) | Reference |
|---|
💡 These rates drive the HC = Volume / Rate formula. Lower rate = more staff needed.
🔢 Formula Reference (How HC is Calculated)
| Process | Formula | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Stackers - Sortables | AVERAGE(hourly: (sortable_vol × 30%) ÷ 120) | HC chutes only; skip 07:00 & 12:00 |
| Stackers - Non Con | AVERAGE(hourly: (sortable_vol × 10%) ÷ 90) | Non-con fraction only |
| Ship Clerk | AVERAGE(hourly: (sortable_vol + xd_vol) ÷ 1500) | Includes XD volume |
| TDR | AVERAGE(hourly: (sortable_vol + xd_vol) ÷ 3000) | Includes XD volume |
| Waterspider | AVERAGE(hourly: sortable_vol ÷ 320) | Full sortable, no coefficient |
| Ship PS | AVERAGE(hourly: CEIL((sortable + xd) ÷ 1800)) | Rounded up per hour |
| Sort / Stack < 0.1 | AVERAGE(hourly: (sortable_vol × 9%) ÷ 300) MIN=1 | Sub-0.1KG volume |
| Inductor - Platform | AVERAGE(hourly: CEIL((sortable × (1 - 10%)) ÷ 650)) MAX=5 | Excludes non-con |
| Shuttle / VRC / Pallets / C-ret | (FC + MFN + Int) ÷ rate ÷ hours ÷ 2 | Shared equally MS & ES |
| Inductor Ext. Vol | IF(MFN > 0, 1, 0) | Fixed when MFN exists |

⬆ Raw Data — Import
Import updated raw data CSV/Excel to refresh volume calculations
📂 Import Raw Data File
Drop Raw Data file here or click to browse
Accepts .xlsx, .csv — Row Labels × Hour columns format
ℹ Expected Format
The Raw Data sheet contains hourly volume by stacking filter (row labels × 24 hour columns).
Column A: Stacking Filter name (e.g. ARAMEX-STD)
Columns B-Y: % of daily volume per hour (0:00 – 23:00)
This drives the volume breakdown calculations and shift planning. Update monthly or when routes change.
⬆ STEM — Stacking Filter Mapping
