§1Calculator

One row per outbound flow (a customer, a DC or a product line)
Flow	Loads per month	Pallets per load	Share returned to you (%)	Internal use per month	Net pallets per month
					0

Peak-month factorYour busiest month ÷ an average month, from shipping history.

Your pallet demand
Net pallets per month	0
Net pallets per year	0
Peak month	0

Net per month = loads × pallets per load × (1 − share returned) + internal use
Annual = monthly × 12;  peak month = monthly × peak factor

§2Method

Net pallets per month = loads per month × pallets per load × (1 − share returned) + internal use per month.

Annual = monthly × 12; peak month = monthly × peak factor.
