Calculate the Financial Impact of FOD Incidents in Your Shop

How much does an FOD incident really cost your organization? Use our calculator to estimate the direct and indirect costs related to foreign object debris in your aerospace or manufacturing shop.

Why Calculate Your FOD Costs?

FOD incidents often lead to costs that are underestimated:

  • Direct costs: Repairs, parts replacement, additional inspections
  • Indirect costs: Downtime, production delays, contractual penalties
  • Reputational costs: Loss of customer trust, increased audits

The right equipment is an investment, not an expense. Protect your margins with FODZero pouches.

 

Example calculation:

  • 1 minor FOD incident per month = 2 hours of downtime + $500 in repairs = $6,000 per year
  • 1 major FOD incident per year = 48 hours of downtime + $15,000 in repairs = $15,000 per year
  • Estimated total annual cost: $21,000
