Forklifts, Lift Equipment & Material Handling Vehicles worked example

Rework Rate at 2.16% target maximum rework rate: a worked example in forklifts, lift equipment & material handling vehicles

This worked example runs the rework rate numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 2.16% target maximum rework rate instead of the typical 3%. Calculate rework rate for lift trucks, attachments, masts, hydraulic assemblies, paint, final test, or dealer-prep work.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Trucks or components needing rework: 9 units (held at the documented default)
  • Total trucks or components inspected: 180 units (held at the documented default)
  • Target maximum rework rate: 2.16 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 3)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Rework Rate rate = trucks or components needing rework ÷ total trucks or components inspected × 100.
  • Rework Rate rate works out to 5 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Rework Rate gap to target works out to -2.84 points at these inputs.
  • Trucks or components needing rework works out to 9 count at these inputs.
  • Total trucks or components inspected works out to 180 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target maximum rework rate sits at 3% and the headline result is 5 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 5 %.
  • Use it at the end of each shift or build batch to gauge first-pass quality at final test, paint, weld, or mast assembly stations. 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

  • Rework Rate rate: 5 % (headline result)
  • Rework Rate gap to target: -2.84 points
  • Trucks or components needing rework: 9 count
