Cases Per Tier Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cases Per Tier (CPT) is:

\[ \text{CPT} = \frac{\text{TC}}{\text{NT}} \]

Where:

\( \text{CPT} \) is the cases per tier
\( \text{TC} \) is the total number of cases
\( \text{NT} \) is the number of tiers

What is Cases Per Tier?

Cases per tier is a measure used in logistics and warehousing to determine how many cases of a product can be stacked in a single tier on a pallet or shelf. This metric is crucial for optimizing storage space and ensuring efficient use of available resources. By knowing the cases per tier, businesses can better plan their storage layouts, improve inventory management, and streamline the picking and packing processes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Cases (TC) = 200
Number of Tiers (NT) = 10

Using the formula to calculate the Cases Per Tier:

\[ \text{CPT} = \frac{200}{10} = 20 \]

The Cases Per Tier is 20.
