How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Planned Stops = 10, Avg Service Time = 30, Avg Drive Time = 15, Work Day Length = 8 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Maximum Stops
    Maximum Stops
    10 = 10
  3. Calculate Total Service Time
    Total Service Time
    5 = 5
  4. Calculate Total Drive Time
    Total Drive Time
    2.5 = 2.5
