Thermal Spray, Hardfacing & Wear Coatings worked example

Quote Price at 92% realization factor: a worked example in thermal spray, hardfacing & wear coatings

What does the result look like when realization factor reaches 92%? The full calculation is worked below with real intermediate numbers. Use it when quote price in thermal spray, hardfacing and wear coatings is being put through a thermal spray, hardfacing and wear coatings weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Parts on the coating quote: 100 units (unchanged)
  • Quoted price per part (coating + margin): 45 $ / unit (unchanged)
  • Realization factor (billed vs. list): 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed quote charges (setup + minimum lot fee): 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Quote Price 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 realization factor sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • A figure at this level is achievable when realization factor is genuinely sustained, not just peaked for a shift. The realization factor scales the whole variable price uniformly, so it models blanket discounting well but not tiered or volume-break pricing.

Results at a glance

  • Weighted cost: 4,390 $ (headline result)
