Hello Everyone.

I work in demand planning and a big part of our job is allocating sku need into truckloads or containers based on a max level of cubes a container can hold.

As you can imagine our need is never to a full & exact container because it’s retail & calculated on need & weeks of stock, projected end of month & so on

First i’m not looking to reinvent the wheel of someone knows of a tool that does this please let me know 🙏

Otherwise I’m looking to distribute demand in a way that makes sense. An example might be 10 total units needed into 7 containers (because the total need is for 7.3 containers for example). I can’t just “round” all of them or I would be short or over the total number.

Hope I’m explaining it well. Thank you in advance for any help.


Ps… the need has to be as evenly distributed as possible. Mix is important. Ty again
