Carry out this task

  1. Save the Before values on the linked tool.
  2. Change the remainder without changing the package specification.
  3. Calculate & Save the After values on the same item. Check the ID is retained rather than creating another physical item.

Calculation and observed tool result

Before

Stock = 0 × 1000 + 500 = 500 g; floor(500 ÷ 60) = 8 loads

Recorded quantity: 500 g.

After

Stock = 0 × 1000 + 380 = 380 g; floor(380 ÷ 60) = 6 loads

Recorded quantity: 380 g.

What the result means

Complete loads fall from eight to six.

Limits of this example

Weighing accuracy limits the estimate.

A mistake to avoid

Do not average the estimate with the new measurement.
