This constraint specifies the time required at the depot to load or unload one unit of product. The value is multiplied by the quantity of product to load or unload, depending on the route type.
Note: This applies only to the Quantity 1 constraint of the visits and not to the other 23 possible quantities.
Format: HH:MM
Example:
Fixed loading/unloading duration: 00:3:00
Loading/unloading duration per unit: 120 seconds (2 minutes per unit)
Quantity to load: 8 units
Calculation:
Time for units = 120 sec × 8 = 960 sec = 16 minutes
Total depot duration = 30 min (fixed) + 16 min = 46 minutes
