Coffee, Tea, Roasting & Dry Goods Processing worked example

Valve/Label Cost at 110% component scope included: a worked example

Push component scope included up to 110% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. costing packaging components for coffee, tea, and dry goods products

The inputs for this scenario

  • Valves, labels, and packaging components used: 10,000 units (unchanged)
  • Component cost each: 0.07 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Component scope included: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Artwork, plate, and label setup adders: 180 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable valve/label cost = valves, labels, or packaging components × component cost each × packaging component scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 994 $ for total valve/label cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.1 $ / piece for valve/label cost per sellable unit.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 814 $ for variable valve/label cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 180 $ for artwork, plate, and label setup adders.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where component scope included sits at 100% and the headline result is 920 $, this scenario comes in 8.04% above the baseline at 994 $.
  • It multiplies your component count by the cost each and the share of components in scope, then adds fixed setup charges to give a total and a per-sellable-unit cost. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • total valve/label cost: 994 $ (headline result)
  • valve/label cost per sellable unit: 0.1 $ / piece
  • variable valve/label cost: 814 $
  • artwork, plate, and label setup adders: 180 $
