Doors, Hardware & Access Control Manufacturing worked example

Hardware Kit Cost at 92% scheduled hardware scope included: a worked example in doors, hardware & access control manufacturing

Push scheduled hardware scope included up to 92% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when hardware kit cost in doors, hardware and access control manufacturing is being put through a doors, hardware and access control manufacturing weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Hardware sets or openings kitted: 100 sets or openings (unchanged)
  • Hardware kit cost per opening: 45 $ / opening (unchanged)
  • Scheduled hardware scope included: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed keying, submittal, or packaging cost: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Included hardware package cost = hardware sets or openings kitted × hardware kit cost per opening × scheduled hardware scope included) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for total hardware kit cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for hardware kit cost per opening.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for included hardware package cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed keying, submittal, or packaging cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where scheduled hardware scope included sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • It computes the included hardware package cost as openings times cost per opening times the scope percentage, then adds the fixed keying, submittal, and packaging 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.
