COPQ Calculator

Estimate where dimensional inspection issues may be leaking margin.

Use this calculator to frame cost tied to reinspection, troubleshooting, waiting on inspection results, scrap, rework, containment, and delayed FAI, PPAP, or launch approvals.

Calculate inspection-related COPQ exposure

Use conservative estimates. The goal is not to inflate the number. The goal is to make hidden inspection waste visible enough to support a practical improvement conversation.

Rates and inspection load

Burdened hourly rate for inspection, programming, or quality support labor.
Use machine burden rate if known. Otherwise use a conservative estimate.
Estimated hourly impact when production, shipment, or launch decisions wait on inspection.
Used for context and future scaling, not to inflate the estimate automatically.

Weekly inspection waste

Use hours where production, quality disposition, shipment, or engineering decisions are delayed.
