Section 7 - The Calculation Phase
Page 2 of 4
This screen presents in tabular form the number of items of each cargo type packed (in this instance all those
available). A more comprehensive printer report can be obtained at this stage. This is achieved by selecting Print.
Three further options are available at this stage:
Firstly, you may wish to proceed and draw (on screen / printer) the packing arrangement which has been determined.
This is accomplished by selecting the Draw option.
Secondly, if the specified load has only partly filled the container you may wish to immediately add some additional
cargo items (of an existing OR new cargo type) to those which have already been packed. Within
CARGOMANAGER this is referred to as End Packing.
In this situation the items already placed in the container will retain their existing positions within the container and
any additional items specified will be fitted into spaces within the existing packing arrangement.
This can be selected using the Add option.
Finally, you may have now packed all the cargo which has to go into this container (it might have been restricted by
weight for example) and wish to ensure that it is 'spread' as far as possible over the container floor. If the packing is
volume restricted then the arrangement obtained by selecting Draw will probably meet your needs. However, where
the load is restricted by weight the arrangement obtained by selecting Draw will be packed up at one end of the
container. A further option Level will re-calculate possible packings with the objective of minimising height usage.
Proceeding to the Next Screen.
Thus, you may choose to move forward to display on screen / printer the solution calculated (by selecting Draw), or
you may choose to Add additional cases which would lead you back to the input screen for End Packing, or you may
level the load using the Level option.
