Field Service Margin at 99% target margin-hit rate: a worked example
This scenario runs the field service margin calculation on the strong side: 99% target margin-hit rate, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when you need a clean field service margin rate and gap to target you can put on a tier board or service review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Jobs meeting margin target: 8 count (unchanged)
- Total field service jobs: 250 count (unchanged)
- Target margin-hit rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Margin-hit rate = jobs meeting margin target ÷ total field service jobs × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for margin-hit rate, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for jobs meeting margin target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total field service jobs.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target margin-hit rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
- Use it at month-end or quarter-end on closed, costed work orders to judge how reliably field service delivers its quoted margin. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
Results at a glance
- Margin-hit rate: 3.2 % (headline result)
