Wood & Paper Manufacturing worked example

Wood Scrap Value at 126% market price factor: a worked example

Push market price factor up to 126% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. Use it when wood scrap value in wood and paper manufacturing is being re-tuned and you want to land closer to target on the first try.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Base Scrap Volume: 100 value (unchanged)
  • Grade or Recovery Adjustment: 1.05 value (unchanged)
  • Market Price Factor: 126 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 110)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Adjusted wood scrap value value = (baseline wood scrap value value + wood scrap value adjustment) × wood scrap value adjustment factor) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 105 units for adjusted wood scrap value value, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns -21.5 value for gap to target.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for measured value.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 1.05 x for correction factor.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where market price factor sits at 110% and the headline result is 105 units, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 105 units.
  • It adds a grade or recovery adjustment to the base scrap volume and multiplies the sum by a market price factor to give an adjusted planning value. 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.
