Cell Therapy Rework Cost at 92% share of rework cost charged to this line and scope: a worked example

This scenario runs the cell therapy rework cost calculation on the strong side: 92% share of rework cost charged to this line and scope, with every other input held at its documented default. a quality or operations team is estimating the cost of repeat work caused by GMP process or documentation issues

The inputs for this scenario

  • Expected rework events per period: 18 events (unchanged)
  • Average cost per rework event: 3,200 $ / event (unchanged)
  • Share of rework cost charged to this line/scope: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed retraining, requalification, or corrective cost: 14,000 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Allocated repeat-work cost = expected rework events × average cost per event × assigned share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 66,992 $ rework for total cell therapy rework cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3,722 $ / event for rework cost per event.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 52,992 $ for allocated repeat-work cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 14,000 $ for fixed corrective rework cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of rework cost charged to this line and scope sits at 80% and the headline result is 60,080 $ rework, this scenario comes in 11.5% above the baseline at 66,992 $ rework.
  • Use it when a deviation, CAPA, or recurring nonconformance is generating repeat processing on a specific cell or gene therapy equipment train and you need a defensible dollar figure. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Total cell therapy rework cost: 66,992 $ rework (headline result)
  • Rework cost per event: 3,722 $ / event
  • Allocated repeat-work cost: 52,992 $
  • Fixed corrective rework cost: 14,000 $
