measure whether production was met within the week. Remember that the end points are not just the docks, but also the HSs and the rack. Calculating a New Markup A good way to baseline a new markup would be to take the current markup used in the model and multiply each helper’s shift/day amount by the utilization. You can round this number up or down depending, but you want to make sure you have at least one helper during shifts when they are needed. Using the new markup, take a look at how utilization and helper moves change, and see if overall production targets are still met.
