Formula used

  • Shelf-life loss consumed = shelf-life loss use rate × shelf-life loss runtime
  • Shelf-life loss run cost = consumption × shelf-life loss unit cost

Inputs explained

  • Shelf-life loss use rate: Use measured consumption from production records, supplier data, meters, scales, or recipe settings.
  • Shelf-life loss runtime: Enter the planned runtime, test time, production time, or service interval for the estimate.
