Cryogenic Storage & LNG Equipment worked example

Cryogenic Rework Cost at 92% share of reviewed items expected to need rework: a worked example

This scenario runs the cryogenic rework cost calculation on the strong side: 92% share of reviewed items expected to need rework, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when cryogenic rework cost in cryogenic storage and lng equipment is being put through a cryogenic storage and lng equipment weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Cryogenic items flagged for review: 100 items (unchanged)
  • Rework cost per affected cryogenic item: 45 $ / item (unchanged)
  • Share of reviewed items expected to need rework: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed retest and re-certification adder: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable rework cost = reviewed cryogenic items × rework cost per item × expected rework share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for total cryogenic rework cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for rework cost per reviewed item.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for variable rework cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed retest or quality adder.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of reviewed items expected to need rework sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • Use it when a nonconformance or inspection result puts a group of cryogenic parts under review and you need a defensible cost before committing to repair. 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 cryogenic rework cost: 4,390 $ (headline result)
  • Rework cost per reviewed item: 43.9 $ / piece
  • Variable rework cost: 4,140 $
  • Fixed retest or quality adder: 250 $
