Electronics Repair, Refurbishment & Depot Operations calculator
Cannibalization Value Calculator
Estimate usable value from cannibalizing donor electronics for displays, boards, ICs, power modules, cables, housings, or scarce spare parts. Quantity times rate times capture factor, plus a fixed adjustment, builds a defensible weighted cost.
What this calculator does
- Estimate usable value from cannibalizing donor electronics for displays, boards, ICs, power modules, cables, housings, or scarce spare parts.
- Use it when cannibalization value in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations is being put through a electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations weighted-cost review.
- Turns donor units or harvested assemblies, usable value per harvested item, usable cannibalization yield into a weighted cost for cannibalization value in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations.
Formula used
- Gross cannibalization value = donor units or harvested assemblies × usable value per harvested item × usable cannibalization yield
- Net cannibalization value = gross cannibalization value + fixed resale credit or value adjustment
Inputs explained
- Donor units or harvested assemblies: undefined
- Usable value per harvested item: undefined
- Usable cannibalization yield: undefined
- Fixed resale credit or value adjustment: undefined
How to use the result
- Use it when cannibalization value in electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations is being scored for capture or weighted cost.
- Risk-adjustments and discount rates are not in the formula; layer them on top for capital reviews.
Common questions
- What problem does this cannibalization value calculator solve? Estimate usable value from cannibalizing donor electronics for displays, boards, ICs, power modules, cables, housings, or scarce spare parts. You get a weighted cost you can defend before quoting, scheduling, or sign-off.
- Where do I get the inputs for this electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations calculator? donor units or harvested assemblies, usable value per harvested item, usable cannibalization yield usually move the weighted cost most. Pull from measured electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations runs, supplier data, and recent quotes rather than memory.
- How should I act on the output? Use the weighted cost in the electronics repair, refurbishment and depot operations business case or quote build-up.
- What should I double-check before acting? Confirm the capture factor is honest; over-stated capture is the most common reason these models miss.
