Introduction to TOPS Pro
Using TOPS Pro
Suppose you work for an oil change pany
and need to find the optimal solution for loading oil cans
into a carton, into a shipcase, onto a pallet and onto a
truck.
In this analysis, the various stages have these general
characteristics:
The bottles are contained in six-packs.
Each six-pack unit sits in a tray with dividers.
Each shipcase contains four six-packs.
The pallet is a standard pallet.
The truck is a standard truck.
