Powder Metallurgy & Sintered Parts worked example
Quote Margin with quoted price per part of 310 units: a worked example in powder metallurgy & sintered parts
What does the result look like when quoted price per part reaches 310 units? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when quote margin in powder metallurgy and sintered parts needs a clean margin number for a powder metallurgy and sintered parts go / no-go review.
The inputs for this scenario
- Quoted price per part: 310 units (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
- Fully loaded cost per part: 100 units (unchanged)
- Reference base for percentage: 100 units (unchanged)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Quote Margin margin = available value - required value) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for margin, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for absolute margin.
- At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available amount.
- At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required amount.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted price per part sits at 125 units and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
- A figure at this level is achievable when quoted price per part is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. It uses your loaded cost as entered; if furnace amortization, powder scrap, or secondary operations are understated, the margin will look healthier than it really is.
