Cube Utilization
Cube utilization is a measurement of how effectively a vehicle or warehouse is using its total storage capacity. This metric is important for logistics professionals to understand and track, as it can help optimize operations and improve efficiency.
There are a few different ways to calculate cube utilization, but the most common method is to simply divide the volume of goods stored in a space by the total available storage volume. This will give you a percentage that can be used to compare different spaces or vehicles.
For example, let’s say you have a warehouse with 10,000 square feet of floor space and 20-foot ceilings. This means that your total available storage volume is 200,000 cubic feet. If you currently have 50,000 cubic feet of goods stored in the warehouse, your cube utilization is 25% (50,000/200,000).
There are a few factors that can affect cube utilization, such as the type of goods being stored and the layout of the space. For example, storing goods in high-density racks can take up less space and result in a higher utilization percentage. It’s important to constantly monitor cube utilization and make changes as needed to optimize operations.
Cube utilization is an important metric for logistics professionals to understand and track. By understanding how much space is being used and how efficiently it is being used, you can optimize operations and improve efficiency.
