ROI Calculator

What is your manufacturing operation actually costing you?

Enter a few numbers about your operation and see the full picture — scrap, warranty, downtime, the overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) gap, and the hidden cost of not owning your own process data. The drivers apply whether you are introducing a new product or scaling production that is already running.

Where does your operation stand?
The shaded band on each slider shows the typical range BuildQM customers achieve. The default is set to the midpoint. Move the slider left if your operation is already high-performing; right if you believe there is more room to improve.
Shaded band = typical BuildQM customer outcome range  ·  Default set to midpoint
01  Engineers Redirected 4 FTEs
Typical range: 2 – 8 FTEs  ·  Teams building this internally typically staff 12–15 engineers

02  Scrap Improvement 0.5 pct pts
Typical range: 0.3 – 0.8 pct pts  ·  Industry average scrap: 1.5 – 3% of COGS
Already leanHigh scrap today
03  Warranty Reduction 15%
Typical range: 10 – 25%  ·  Driven by catching defects in-process before products ship
Strong quality todayHigh field return rate
04  OEE Improvement 2.0 pct pts
Typical range: 1.5 – 3.5 pct pts  ·  OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Industry benchmark: 85%
Already optimizedSignificant gap to close
05  Downtime Event Reduction 30%
Typical range: 20 – 40%  ·  How quickly can your team identify root cause when a line stops?
Rare unplanned stopsFrequent stoppages
06  CM Pricing Leverage 3.0%
Typical range: 2 – 5%  ·  The negotiating improvement possible when you can credibly move volume

3-Year Cumulative Value
Pricing is scoped to your deployment
BuildQM pricing is structured around your operation.
It typically represents a small fraction of the value shown above.
We configure pricing based on your number of factories, deployment model, and service tier. Talk to us and we will scope it to your specific situation.
