About This Assessment

The calculations in this assessment are based on comprehensive data from our 2024 customer benchmark study, which includes insights from over 800 manufacturing sites. On average, LeanDNA customers experience at least a 12% inventory reduction and a 36% shortage reduction in their first year of use.

To provide a realistic estimate, this tool uses industry-standard benchmarks for carrying and shortage costs. It assumes carrying costs are 15% of the total inventory value, reflecting the lower end of the well-documented range of 15%-30%. For shortage costs, the calculator incorporates factors like expedited fees, freight costs, late penalties, and labor expenses, using 8% of total purchased inventory as the default—consistent with the industry average of 7%-12%.
