Fitting Count Cost at 92% sourced and landed cost capture factor: a worked example

Push sourced and landed cost capture factor up to 92% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when fitting count cost in hydraulic, pneumatic and fluid power systems is being put through a hydraulic, pneumatic and fluid power systems weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Number of fittings on the assembly: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Cost per fitting installed: 45 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Sourced/landed cost capture factor: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed tooling and crimp setup cost: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Fitting Count Cost cost = quantity × rate × capture factor + fixed cost) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for weighted cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for per piece value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for captured value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed adjustment.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where sourced and landed cost capture factor sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • It computes total fitting cost as count times installed unit cost times a capture factor, plus a fixed setup charge, then divides by count for a per-piece figure. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Weighted cost: 4,390 $ (headline result)
  • Per piece value: 43.9 $ / piece
  • Captured value: 4,140 $
  • Fixed adjustment: 250 $
