Cost Per Hose Assembly at 110% cost capture factor: a worked example

What does the result look like when cost capture factor reaches 110%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when building a complete cost per hose assembly for a quote, comparing supplier pricing, or reviewing product margin.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Assemblies in this production run: 150 assemblies (unchanged)
  • Variable cost per assembly: 8.4 $ / assembly (unchanged)
  • Cost capture factor: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed order or job cost: 350 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable order cost = assemblies x variable cost per assembly x cost capture factor) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,736 $ for total order cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.57 $ / assembly for manufactured cost per assembly.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1,386 $ for variable order cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 350 $ for fixed order or job cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where cost capture factor sits at 100% and the headline result is 1,610 $, this scenario comes in 7.83% above the baseline at 1,736 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when cost capture factor is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It is only as accurate as your variable cost-per-assembly input; if that figure omits scrap or test fittings, the per-assembly result will be understated.

Results at a glance

  • Total order cost: 1,736 $ (headline result)
  • Manufactured cost per assembly: 11.57 $ / assembly
  • Variable order cost: 1,386 $
  • Fixed order or job cost: 350 $
