Planning model, not personalized financial advice. Your inputs remain in your browser.

Calculation method

Rework hours released = units × change in first-pass yield × rework minutes / 60. Avoidable labor savings = released hours × hourly cost × cash-avoidable share.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
  • Recovered capacity is not booked revenue or automatic cash savings. Validate the bottleneck, quality and demand before monetizing output.
