Plant Truck Turnaround Time Calculator.
Enter minutes spent in each stage to see total turnaround and where the time goes.
How to use it
Total turnaround is the sum of the stages; loading is often a small share. The biggest stage is where to act first. The 2 h 30 m benchmark is the gate TAT target in the KPI dictionary. Read plant gate turnaround time.
Questions
What is a good truck turnaround time at a plant?
It depends on product and process; 2 h 30 m gate-in to gate-out is the target used in the SCM for Manufacturers KPI dictionary.
Why measure stages instead of the total?
Because the total hides where trucks wait. Stage dwell shows whether to fix scheduling, the yard, loading or paperwork.
