Pump, Compressor & Rotating Equipment Assembly worked example

Rework Cost at 92% share of units actually reworkable: a worked example in pump, compressor & rotating equipment assembly

This scenario runs the rework cost calculation on the strong side: 92% share of units actually reworkable, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when rework cost in pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly is being put through a pump, compressor and rotating equipment assembly weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Units requiring rework: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Rework labor and parts cost per unit: 45 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Share of units actually reworkable: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed rework-station overhead: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Rework Cost cost = quantity × rate × capture factor + fixed cost) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for weighted cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for per piece value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for captured value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed adjustment.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of units actually reworkable sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • Use it when comparing rework versus scrap or building the cost case to eliminate a recurring assembly defect. 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

  • Weighted cost: 4,390 $ (headline result)
  • Per piece value: 43.9 $ / piece
  • Captured value: 4,140 $
  • Fixed adjustment: 250 $
