Worked example

Inputs

Order: 200 items
Offer: 30 currency/item
Variable: 18 currency/item
Setup: 500 currency
Spare: 150 items
Regular contribution: 15 currency/item

Expected results

Displaced: 50 items
Incremental profit: 1150 currency

How to use this tool

Enter your own assumptions using a consistent currency and period.
Review the scenario outputs and compare alternative inputs.
Check the stated model limits before using the result in an operating plan.

Try this example

{
  "order": 200,
  "offer": 30,
  "variable": 18,
  "setup": 500,
  "spare": 150,
  "regular_contribution": 15
}

Accuracy and scope

Deterministic planning scenario; inputs are assumptions, not forecasts. Excludes taxes, financing, legal requirements and costs not explicitly entered. Source explains the underlying planning framework; this specific scenario arithmetic is original.
