Total Manufacturing Inventory Formula
Total Inventory = Raw Materials Value + (Work in Process Cost × % Completion) + (Finished Goods Units × Unit Cost)- Raw Materials: Unopened raw stock, fasteners, and subcomponents in storage.
- Work in Process (WIP): Semi-finished goods on the plant floor partially processed through labor and machine stages.
- Finished Goods: Inspected, packaged goods ready for shipment to distribution centers or customers.
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Quarterly plant floor inventory count at an industrial pump facility
Calculation Steps:
- Raw Materials = $120,000 (48.0%)
- Work in Process Valuation = $80,000 × 50% = $40,000 (16.0%)
- Finished Goods Valuation = 1,500 × $60 = $90,000 (36.0%)
- Total Inventory Valuation = $120,000 + $40,000 + $90,000 = $250,000
Result: Total manufacturing inventory value is $250,000 across raw stock (48%), in-process WIP (16%), and finished goods (36%).
How to Use This Calculator
- 1Enter total valuation of raw materials in warehouse stock.
- 2Input material cost committed to active work orders and their average stage of completion.
- 3Enter count and unit cost of completed finished goods.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Valuation follows standard cost or lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV).
- WIP completion reflects labor and overhead conversion progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine WIP percentage completion?
Typically based on milestones in the routing sheet (e.g., machining complete = 40%, heat treat = 70%, final assembly = 90%, testing = 100%).
