Batch Math, explained.

Every batch number traces back to real sales — here’s the trail. The page answers one question: why is this juice’s batch the size it is?

Click any numbered pin on the live Sweet Greens example to read what it is and why it’s there. The four rose pins are the “why does it do that?” moments worth knowing.

target4d = mean + z · sd = 34.9 + 0.67 · 9.1 = 41 btl

target = standing + one-off + GREATEST( target4d+buffer , target4d + booked pre-orders )
= 0 + 0 + GREATEST( 41.7 , 41 )
= 0 + 0 + 41.7
Target = 41.7 bottles

5 · Batches to make
Yield (bottles per batch)14.4 btl
raw = target / yield = 41.7 / 14.4 = 2.89 batches
round UP to nearest 0.3-batch increment →
Batch size = 3 batches  →  produces 43.3 bottles
bottles produced = batch size × yield = 3 × 14.4
