1. An operational process to determine maximum efficiency of sorting operations with different product types, comprising:
- estimating an amount of a first type of product to be processed in a given time period based on historical data (H);
providing a known performance of a sorting machine during a requisite time period for sorting processes (P);
supplying a known value (V) of a second type of product; and
calculating an amount of a third type of product that can be processed based on the previous steps,wherein the calculating step includes subtracting the (H) and (V) from the (P).

Abstract
An operational process for product distribution includes grouping product into groups when the product is in a first sort level and sorting the groups of product, in a first pass operation, to a second level sort. The method further includes sequencing the second level sort product including late arriving product, in a second pass operation, into a sequence of product. A machine readable code can also be used to implement the functionality of the operational process.
