Door Rework Cost at 110% share of rework events charged to this line: a worked example

What does the result look like when share of rework events charged to this line reaches 110%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. prioritizing door quality fixes by cost impact

The inputs for this scenario

  • Door rework events this period: 24 events (unchanged)
  • Average labor + material cost per door rework event: 145 $ / event (unchanged)
  • Share of rework events charged to this line: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed containment, sorting, and corrective-action cost: 620 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable door rework cost = door rework events × average door rework cost per event × door rework scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,448 $ for total door rework cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 185 $ / piece for door rework cost per event.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3,828 $ for variable door rework cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 620 $ for fixed door containment and corrective-action cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of rework events charged to this line sits at 100% and the headline result is 4,100 $, this scenario comes in 8.49% above the baseline at 4,448 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when share of rework events charged to this line is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. Average cost per event hides variation — a single severe rework (full slab scrap) can dwarf a dozen minor adjustments, so pair this with a defect Pareto before acting.

Results at a glance

  • total door rework cost: 4,448 $ (headline result)
  • door rework cost per event: 185 $ / piece
  • variable door rework cost: 3,828 $
  • fixed door containment and corrective-action cost: 620 $
