- Annual units started
- 200,000
- Current scrap rate
- 8 %
- Target scrap rate
- 4 %
- Irrecoverable material / scrapped unit
- $18
- Disposal cost / scrapped unit
- $2
- Annual prevention program cost
- $40,000
Annual direct scrap savings
Example result only, not a forecast or promise.
- Scrapped units avoided
- 8,000
- Material loss avoided
- $144,000
- Disposal cost avoided
- $16,000
What to do with this result
Prioritize defects by cause and irreversible cost at the point of failure; do not count full selling price as scrap savings.

Calculation method
Avoided scrap units = starts × (current scrap − target scrap). Direct savings = avoided units × (irrecoverable material + disposal) − program cost.
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.
