Dental, Orthodontic & Prosthetics Manufacturing worked example

Remake Rate at 99% target remake rate: a worked example

Push target remake rate up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when remake rate in dental, orthodontic and prosthetics manufacturing needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Remake cases or units: 8 remakes (unchanged)
  • Completed cases or units: 250 cases (unchanged)
  • Target remake rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Actual remake rate = remake cases or units ÷ completed cases or units × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for actual remake rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for remake rate gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for remake cases or units.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for completed cases or units.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target remake rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It computes the actual remake rate as a percentage of completed cases and the gap between that rate and your target. 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

  • Actual remake rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
  • Remake rate gap to target: 95.8 points
  • Remake cases or units: 8 count
  • Completed cases or units: 250 count

Run it with your numbers

  • Every input above is editable in the live Remake Rate calculator, which recalculates instantly and can be shared with the inputs intact.
