Scenario calculation

Your results

Direct picking and packing hours: 40 h
Total scenario hours: 40 h
Average work hours per day: 2 h
Average equivalent people: Not calculable with these inputs
Capacity rounded up to whole people: Not calculable with these inputs

Pending inputs: Productive hours per person per day.

Arithmetic based on your assumptions. No store connection, booking, carrier quotation, purchase or guaranteed saving. No personal details are needed.

How the calculation works

Direct hours = parcels × minutes per parcel ÷ 60. Total hours add other-work minutes divided by 60.

Average daily workload divides total hours by working days. With productive hours entered, equivalent people = total hours ÷ (days × productive hours). Rounding up is an arithmetic capacity reference.

How to interpret the result

It does not model shifts, concurrency, learning curves, carrier cutoffs or the actual daily workload distribution. Check peaks before sizing resources.

It does not estimate payroll savings or recommend hiring or dismissal. Freed founder hours do not automatically represent cash savings.
