Brief description Freight rates are given in practice either as costs for pure transportation or as “All-in-Raten”.

Load rate The load rate indicates the proportion of loaded resources (equipment, people) in relation to available resources. Brief description This indicator measures the use of available resources. Until recently, there was a belief to set a goal of 100% load on available resources, however, recent studies show that full load does not always reflect positively on the company. Formulas Load rate [...]
Flow Degree The flow degree is a production-derived number that determines how the execution time and development time of one product behave in relation to each other. A brief description The flow degree number gives what multiple of the development time, measured on the overall execution time, the observed object travels through the production system. In this way, it gives an indication of the [...]
Degree of service The degree of service describes an indicator by which to measure to what extent the demand for some product can be completely covered at any time using existing resources. Brief description Degree of service, degree of supply service or also degree of supply readiness captures the security of material availability. It thus shows the amount of material security of production or distribution [...]
Degree of space utilization Under the term: degree of space utilization is understood as such a number that informs about the effectively used part of the space, for example, in a warehouse. Brief description The degree of space utilization describes the ratio between the total space (warehouse) that is available and in the total used or used space. As a rule, the aim is to achieve [...]
Degree of space utilization The degree of space utilization is an indicator, reflecting the effective space load of a building or hall. Brief description The degree of space utilization is calculated from the ratio of the total volume of storage units to the maximum volume of the warehouse. According to nature, only block storage provides the highest degree of space utilization (up to about 80%), because on the one hand it can be [...]
Inventory Building Strategy An inventory building strategy is an assumption in which inventory is set aside to meet temporarily shifted demand. Brief description Most often, out of safety assumptions in various industries, inventories are built up for specific products in order to be prepared for fluctuations in supply and inventory that may occur. A good example is the petroleum industry. Refineries most often accumulate [...]
Stretch wrapping During stretch wrapping, the cargo unit is secured with a stretch (stretch) plastic film. The roll of film moves around the goods uniformly upward in such a way that a spiral envelope is formed. By braking the film roll, the film is stretched to 80% by which its width is reduced.
