White Goods Material Cost Calculator at 110% bom material scope included: a worked example

What does the result look like when bom material scope included reaches 110%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. an estimator or procurement lead needs a material cost estimate for appliance production

The inputs for this scenario

  • White goods units in scope: 12,000 units (unchanged)
  • Material cost per appliance: 184 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • BOM material scope included: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed sourcing, tooling, or launch cost: 22,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable BOM material cost = white goods units in scope × material cost per appliance × BOM material scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2,450,800 $ for total white goods material cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 204 $ / unit for material cost per appliance.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 2,428,800 $ for variable bom material cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 22,000 $ for fixed sourcing, tooling, or launch cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where bom material scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 2,230,000 $, this scenario comes in 9.9% above the baseline at 2,450,800 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when bom material scope included is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It assumes a single average material cost per appliance; product-mix variation or mid-run BOM cost changes (commodity swings) require re-running by configuration.

Results at a glance

  • Total white goods material cost: 2,450,800 $ (headline result)
  • Material cost per appliance: 204 $ / unit
  • Variable BOM material cost: 2,428,800 $
  • Fixed sourcing, tooling, or launch cost: 22,000 $
