Failure Analysis Tool

Measure what failed prints cost you.

Estimate monthly and annual failure losses from your failure rate, average print cost, and print volume.

Use recent production averages for a realistic baseline.

Failure rate (%)

Average print cost (GBP)

Prints per month

Examples

12% failure, GBP 6.50 print cost, 120 prints/month → around GBP 93.60 monthly loss.
6% failure, GBP 10 print cost, 200 prints/month → around GBP 120 monthly loss.

What cost should I use per print?

Use true production cost including material, power, labor, and wear allowance.

Does this include hidden costs?

No. This gives direct failure waste only, so real impact is usually higher.
