Rework Cost at 110% cost capture factor: a worked example in hose, tubing & fluid conveyance products

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 calculating the cost impact of hose assembly rework from failed crimp dimensions, leak test rejects, wrong fitting orientation, or incorrect cut length.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Hose assemblies requiring rework: 32 assemblies (unchanged)
  • Rework labor & material cost per assembly: 4.75 $ / assembly (unchanged)
  • Cost capture factor (share of rework counted): 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed disposition or re-inspection cost: 200 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Variable rework cost = reworked assemblies x rework cost per assembly x capture factor) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 367 $ for total rework cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 11.48 $ / assembly for rework cost per assembly.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 167 $ for variable rework cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 200 $ for fixed disposition or re-inspection 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 352 $, this scenario comes in 4.32% above the baseline at 367 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when cost capture factor is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It captures direct rework dollars only — it does not value the lost throughput, late shipments, or customer goodwill that often dwarf the rework labor itself.

Results at a glance

  • Total rework cost: 367 $ (headline result)
  • Rework cost per assembly: 11.48 $ / assembly
  • Variable rework cost: 167 $
  • Fixed disposition or re-inspection cost: 200 $
