Sustainable Packaging & EPR Compliance worked example

Packaging Supplier Compliance at 99% target packaging supplier compliance rate: a worked example

Push target packaging supplier compliance rate up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when packaging supplier compliance in sustainable packaging and epr compliance needs a clean rate and gap-to-target you can put on a tier board.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Suppliers meeting packaging compliance standard: 8 count (unchanged)
  • Total packaging suppliers assessed: 250 count (unchanged)
  • Target packaging supplier compliance rate: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 95)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Packaging supplier compliance rate = packaging supplier compliance count ÷ total packaging supplier compliance population × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.2 % for packaging supplier compliance rate, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 95.8 points for packaging supplier compliance gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8 count for packaging supplier compliance count.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 count for total packaging supplier compliance population.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where target packaging supplier compliance rate sits at 95% and the headline result is 3.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 3.2 %.
  • It divides the number of packaging suppliers meeting your standard by the total suppliers assessed to give a compliance percentage, then subtracts your target to show the gap in points. 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.
