Fragmented tools, manual errors, and lost time.
Subject: RE: Pallet config?
"Hey, can you double check the BCT on that 24-pack? The spreadsheet says 32 ECT but vendor says..."
NOTE:
McKee formula needs updating for humidity. Check TAPPI spec??

Finalize pallet config
Due: 3 days ago
Pallet efficiency was 78% last time - where's that file?
From: Vendor
"The specs you sent don't match the PO from March..."
There's a better way. One where every packaging decision connects to the next.
01 ยท What You Gain
Quantified Value
2-4 hours saved
per project
Stop rebuilding the same calculations. Pick up work from 10 months ago and modify for new requirements.
Instant cascade
updates
Change your carton dimensions, and the case config, shipper strength, and pallet efficiency update with it.
Audit-ready
exports
PDF reports with cited methods. Every assumption inline, every output traceable to a standard.
Institutional
memory
Projects stay organized. Revisit designs, see what changed, and understand why decisions were made.
02 ยท The Workflow
One continuous flow
Every decision carries forward. Change your carton dimensions, and the case config, shipper strength, and pallet efficiency update with it.
03 ยท Proof in Practice
Solved in the lab
"Will it pass static tilt?"
Width-wise weak direction flagged at 0.78 g; one wrap tweak; retested and passed at 0.84 g.
Open Load Stability"Do we need higher ECT?"
Humidity/time derating avoided unnecessary upsizing while meeting stacked-storage targets.
Calculate McKee"How long to age this lot?"
Q10 planner set a 33-day run with a documented acceleration factor and audit trail.
