Wood & Paper Manufacturing worked example

Wood Scrap Value at 79% market price factor: a worked example

This worked example runs the wood scrap value numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 79% market price factor instead of the typical 110%. Estimate wood scrap value for wood and paper manufacturing using production-ready inputs so teams can review the adjusted planning value before updating a quote, schedule, or standard.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Base Scrap Volume: 100 value (held at the documented default)
  • Grade or Recovery Adjustment: 1.05 value (held at the documented default)
  • Market Price Factor: 79 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 110)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Adjusted wood scrap value value = (baseline wood scrap value value + wood scrap value adjustment) × wood scrap value adjustment factor.
  • Adjusted wood scrap value value works out to 105 units at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Gap to target works out to 26 value at these inputs.
  • Measured value works out to 100 value at these inputs.
  • Correction factor works out to 1.05 x at these inputs.

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.
  • Use it to set a residual-revenue planning basis or to test price-factor sensitivity for a byproduct stream. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Adjusted wood scrap value value: 105 units (headline result)
  • Gap to target: 26 value
  • Measured value: 100 value
  • Correction factor: 1.05 x
