Packrift scenario model
Non-Regulated Medical Supplies: Two-pack repeat order
Clinic replenishment packaging has a presentation and cleanliness threshold. The model should not imply regulatory validation; it only screens ecommerce package fit. This repeat quantity band model uses 640 monthly orders and a DIM divisor of 139 to compare the current Corrugated carton against smaller protective formats.
What this scenario is testing
This version tests whether the second unit still nests efficiently or pushes the order back into carton territory. The model starts with an item profile of 8.5 x 6 x 2.8 in, 0.75 lb per unit, and 2 units per order. The current package is 12 x 9 x 6.9 in with 90 seconds of pack time.
Packrift treats the result as a screening recommendation. It is strong enough to prioritize a pilot, not strong enough to replace invoice analysis, damage tracking, or warehouse observation.
Candidate rule
Use smaller formats for non-regulated medical supplies only after receiving teams confirm presentation and label-readability requirements.
Assumptions used
- $0.77 per billable pound.
- $21.00 per warehouse labor hour.
- 1.55% current damage rate.
- $44.00 expected replacement or support cost.
Risk checks
- clean presentation
- label readability
- sealed pouch deformation
- clinic receiving workflow
How to test it
- Tag orders with exactly two units.
- Record whether the second unit changes dunnage or fold behavior.
- Keep the rule separate from single-unit orders until variance is measured.
