OEE & Factory Performance calculator
Yield Loss Cost Calculator
Estimate cost of yield loss from lost units, margin per unit, and containment cost. Quantity times rate times capture factor, plus a fixed adjustment, builds a defensible weighted cost.
What this calculator does
- Estimate cost of yield loss from lost units, margin per unit, and containment cost.
- Use it when yield loss cost in oee and factory performance is being put through a oee and factory performance weighted-cost review.
- Turns quantity or hours, rate or value, capture factor into a weighted cost for yield loss cost in oee and factory performance.
Formula used
- Weighted cost = quantity × rate × capture factor + fixed adjustment
Inputs explained
- Quantity or hours: undefined
- Rate or value: undefined
- Capture factor: undefined
- Fixed adjustment: undefined
How to use the result
- Use it when yield loss cost in oee and factory performance is being scored for capture or weighted cost.
- Risk-adjustments and discount rates are not in the formula; layer them on top for capital reviews.
Common questions
- How does this yield loss cost calculator help my oee and factory performance team? Estimate cost of yield loss from lost units, margin per unit, and containment cost. You get a weighted cost you can defend before quoting, scheduling, or sign-off.
- Where do I get the inputs for this oee and factory performance calculator? quantity or hours, rate or value, capture factor usually move the weighted cost most. Pull from measured oee and factory performance runs, supplier data, and recent quotes rather than memory.
- What do I do with this number? Use the weighted cost in the oee and factory performance business case or quote build-up.
- What should I verify first? Confirm the capture factor is honest; over-stated capture is the most common reason these models miss.
