How to Combine Cost Details with QC Results
Step 1: Structure Your Data Collection
Create standardized fields in your EastMallBuy spreadsheet for both financial and quality metrics.
Step 2: Import QC Results
Add columns for:
• Defect rates percentage
• Quality inspection scores
• Return rates
• Customer complaint ratios
Step 3: Merge with Financial Data
Combine your QC metrics with:
• Unit costs
• Shipping expenses
• Customs duties
• Payment processing fees
Step 4: Create Performance Visualization
Use the EastMallBuy dashboard to generate charts comparing:
• Cost per acceptable unit (factoring in defect rates)
• Supplier performance matrix (quality vs. cost)
• Trend analysis of quality improvements or declines
Real-World Example: Electronics Components
A hardware company used EastMallBuy to analyze three suppliers:
| Supplier | Unit Cost | Defect Rate | Effective Cost/Unit* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier A | $4.50 | 5% | $4.74 |
| Supplier B | $4.20 | 15% | $4.94 |
| Supplier C | $5.00 | 2% | $5.10 |
*Effective cost calculates the actual price per working unit after accounting for defects
Despite Supplier B having the lowest sticker price, the high defect rate made them the most expensive option in practice.
