[QUOTE="TearsInRain, post: 2673123, member: 24487"] when IE measures the preload operation, one part of the puzzle is to create an ~ideal conditions~ lineup; we take all the typical routes, their volume (gross & net), and their car-size and we plug it into a load worksheet in the load worksheet, we create pulls from these routes, each to be loaded by a preloader; in a boxline or slide this is as simple as giving them enough volume until they have over 3.5 hours, but less than whatever the sort-span is; for a belt-to-car it gets more interesting for belt-to-car, not only are you getting hours for the pieces you load, but also for any pieces ~upstream~ on the belt that you have to scan before finding your pieces; technically this gives you a % utilization rather than pure hours the goal is 90-100% utilization, the average is around a 97%; if you're loading 1300 pieces, depending on the sort span (and knowing how most operations run), you are probably overutilized [/QUOTE]
