Fixture Inventory Accuracy at 71% target fixture inventory accuracy: a worked example

This worked example runs the fixture inventory accuracy numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 71% target fixture inventory accuracy instead of the typical 98%. Calculate fixture inventory accuracy by comparing correctly located, identified, and usable fixtures with the audited fixture population.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Correctly recorded fixtures: 286 fixtures (held at the documented default)
  • Fixtures audited: 310 fixtures (held at the documented default)
  • Target fixture inventory accuracy: 71 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 98)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Fixture Inventory Accuracy rate = correctly recorded fixtures ÷ fixtures audited × 100.
  • Fixture Inventory Accuracy rate works out to 92.26 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Fixture Inventory Accuracy gap to target works out to -21.26 points at these inputs.
  • Correctly recorded fixtures works out to 286 fixtures at these inputs.
  • Fixtures audited works out to 310 fixtures at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target fixture inventory accuracy sits at 98% and the headline result is 92.26 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 92.26 %.
  • Use it after a cycle count or annual tool crib audit to score data integrity and decide whether corrective action is needed. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Fixture Inventory Accuracy rate: 92.26 % (headline result)
  • Fixture Inventory Accuracy gap to target: -21.26 points
  • Correctly recorded fixtures: 286 fixtures
  • Fixtures audited: 310 fixtures
