Reshoring & Tariff Strategy worked example

Regional Content Threshold at 9.2% regional content threshold utilization target: a worked example

Push regional content threshold utilization target up to 9.2% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when regional content threshold in reshoring and tariff strategy is being sized against an asset rating.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Regional content threshold demand: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Regional content threshold capacity: 1.2 units (unchanged)
  • Regional content threshold utilization target: 9.2 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 8)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Required regional content threshold load = regional content threshold demand รท regional content threshold utilization target) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 120 units for total load, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 13.04 units / hr for hourly equivalent.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 units for input load.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1.2 x for load factor.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where regional content threshold utilization target sits at 8% and the headline result is 120 units, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 120 units.
  • It computes the required in-region production load from demand and a utilization target, then the capacity gap versus your committed regional capacity. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.

Results at a glance

  • Total load: 120 units (headline result)
  • Hourly equivalent: 13.04 units / hr
  • Input load: 100 units
  • Load factor: 1.2 x
