What does this template do?

Measure scrap share and the direct cost of scrapped units and rework hours by production batch.

Scrap share divides scrapped units by units started. Scrap cost uses unit cost; rework cost uses hours times hourly rate. Loss cost sums those two components.

Scrap and rework must refer to separate cost components to avoid double-counting. The result excludes lost contribution, downtime, and disposal cost unless added to the inputs.

The working tab keeps editable inputs separate from formulas, with room for 60 records. The Notes tab explains the method and how to extend the range. All example records are fictional and can be replaced. Download a workbook format to retain formulas, or CSV when you need calculated values only.

What’s inside

  • Scrap share divides scrapped units by units started. Scrap cost uses unit cost; rework cost uses hours times hourly rate. Loss cost sums those two components.
  • 60 prepared record rows with blank-row guards
  • Blue input cells, typed dates and numbers, and frozen column headers
  • Notes with the method, assumptions, and range-extension instructions

What formulas does this template use?

This template holds 242 formulas in 294 cells across 2 tabs, so 82% of its cells calculate. They use 5 distinct functions; the longest formula is 106 characters.

Counted from the workbook itself. Only functions that Excel, LibreOffice Calc, Google Sheets and Apple Numbers evaluate the same way are used, so the formulas survive every download format.

How do you use it?

  1. Replace the fictional records in blue cells with your own data. Keep the dark formula cells.
  2. Use the units stated in the column headers and keep each record on one row.
  3. Read the calculated columns and inspect the results before using them. Clear unused input rows; keep their formulas.
  4. The prepared range holds 60 records in rows 11–70. Extend formulas and summary ranges together if you add more rows.

What is it good for?

  • Measure scrap share and the direct cost of scrapped units and rework hours by production batch
  • Replacing the labeled fictional records with your own figures
  • Checking a calculation before adapting it to a larger workbook

Questions about this sheet

How is the result calculated?

Scrap share divides scrapped units by units started. Scrap cost uses unit cost; rework cost uses hours times hourly rate. Loss cost sums those two components.

What assumptions should I check?

Scrap and rework must refer to separate cost components to avoid double-counting. The result excludes lost contribution, downtime, and disposal cost unless added to the inputs.

Can I add more than 60 records?

Yes. Copy the formula columns into new rows and extend every summary range to include them. Keep inputs and formulas in their original columns.

Are the example records real?

No. All example data is fictional and intended to demonstrate the formulas. Replace it before using the workbook for your own work.
