Garment Tracking Accuracy with garments audited or scanned of 4,100 garments: a worked example

Suppose garments audited or scanned falls to 4,100 garments. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Calculate garment tracking accuracy from audited garments, tracking exceptions, and the audited garment count used as the reference.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Garments audited or scanned: 4,100 garments (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 8,200)
  • Garment tracking exceptions: 115 exceptions (held at the documented default)
  • Audited garment reference count: 8,200 garments (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Correctly tracked garments = garments audited or scanned - garment tracking exceptions.
  • Garment tracking accuracy works out to 48.6 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Correctly tracked garments works out to 3,985 garments at these inputs.
  • Garments audited or scanned works out to 4,100 garments at these inputs.
  • Garment tracking exceptions works out to 115 exceptions at these inputs.

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 50.71% below the baseline at 48.6 %.
  • It computes the percentage of audited garments that scan and reconcile correctly by subtracting tracking exceptions from the scanned count and dividing by the audited reference count. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Garment tracking accuracy: 48.6 % (headline result)
