What does a bad factory run really cost?
Factory Bouncer · 15 years Jinjiang · Updated May 2026
Factory PO cost is only part of the stack. Real exposure can include lost deposit, rebuild elsewhere, wholesale at risk if retail rejects, and dead stock on top of the original PO.
Checklist
- PO and deposit already committed.
- Rebuild cost if the factory cannot finish correctly.
- Wholesale and retail reject exposure on bad sizes or construction.
- Dead stock if goods cannot sell.
How Factory Bouncer does it
Example stack often cited for a mid-size style: PO about $34k can sit under total exposure around $214k when rebuild, wholesale, and reject risk are included. Factory Bouncer shows est. $ by open gate (BOM, pattern, production, and the rest) so finance can approve a hold with full numbers.
