Our shipment is comprised of boxes that are 11" long x 7" wide x 13" high. Also, most of the cases boxes can only be turned not flipped.

We can put the boxes so the 11" side is facing lengthwise in the container and the 8" side is facing the width of the container. This gives us:

A (length) = 125" (ULD dimension) / 11" (box dimension) = 11 boxes long

B (width) = 88" (ULD dimension) / 7" (box dimension) = 12 boxes wide

C (height) = 64" (ULD dimension) / 13" (box dimension) = 4 boxes high

• If we orient the boxes this way,

A long by B wide by C high = 11*12*4=528 BOXES CAN FIT

• If we orient the boxes the other way (turning the boxes 90 degrees),

B long by A wide by C high = 125/7 * 88/11* 64/ 13 = 544 BOXES CAN FIT

The experienced load planner sees unused space in the ULD (potential to increase ULD usage) and turns the boxes on the very last row in both configurations. The better choice relies on the second configuration (calculated in question 3) with the very last ones turned (where there was the 7" dimension facing the 125" length there is 11" dimension now)
