Mass Finishing, Deburring & Polishing worked example

Quote Price at 58% recoverable share of quoted rate: a worked example in mass finishing, deburring & polishing

This worked example runs the quote price numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 58% recoverable share of quoted rate instead of the typical 80%. Calculate quote price for mass finishing, deburring & polishing planning, quoting, troubleshooting, capacity review, or process improvement.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Parts in the quoted finishing order: 100 units (held at the documented default)
  • Quoted finishing price rate per part: 45 $ / unit (held at the documented default)
  • Recoverable share of quoted rate: 58 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 80)
  • Fixed setup and tooling charge: 250 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Quote Price cost = quantity × rate × capture factor + fixed cost.
  • Weighted cost works out to 2,860 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Per piece value works out to 28.6 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Captured value works out to 2,610 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed adjustment works out to 250 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where recoverable share of quoted rate sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 25.71% below the baseline at 2,860 $.
  • Use it when preparing a customer quote for a finishing job once your underlying cost is known. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
