How it’s modelled
Modelled, not measured. Piece price assumes 3% lower landed cost on the annual spend. Time assumes 8,680 hours of sourcing and supplier management per 100-part programme over six years, cut to 1,704. Incidents assume two re-sourcing events a year per 100 parts at £10k each. We agree the baseline with each customer and measure against it.
