Calculation method
Shift operating contribution = sales × (1 − non-labor variable share) − paid hours × loaded wage − fixed shift costs.
Assumptions and limitations
- Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
- Use net collected sales and avoid double-counting returns, commissions or pass-through charges. Demand and customer behavior require validation.
