Garment Tracking Accuracy with garments audited or scanned of 20,500 garments: a worked example

This scenario runs the garment tracking accuracy calculation on the strong side: garments audited or scanned of 20,500 garments, with every other input held at its documented default. Built for stockroom managers, route managers, and RFID or barcode program leads checking scan integrity and wearer assignment accuracy.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Garments audited or scanned: 20,500 garments (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8,200)
  • Garment tracking exceptions: 115 exceptions (unchanged)
  • Audited garment reference count: 8,200 garments (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Correctly tracked garments = garments audited or scanned - garment tracking exceptions) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 249 % for garment tracking accuracy, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20,385 garments for correctly tracked garments.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 20,500 garments for garments audited or scanned.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 115 exceptions for garment tracking exceptions.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where garments audited or scanned sits at 8,200 garments and the headline result is 98.6 %, this scenario comes in 152% above the baseline at 249 %.
  • Use it after a cycle count, an RFID rollout, or any period when billing disputes or phantom shortages suggest the tracking system is drifting. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
