Operations efficiency role: ROI model

An interactive opportunity-sizing model for a cross-team operations efficiency analyst. It shows how much capacity the role frees, what it costs, and how sensitive the answer is to each assumption. Every input is an illustrative placeholder, not real company data.

Scenario:

Annual role cost

$104,000

Steady-state annual value

$126,000

Net value (steady state)

$22,000

Year-1 net (with ramp)

−$41,000

Value / cost

1.21×

Payback (months of value per year of cost)

9.9

Inputs (illustrative; drag to change)

Capacity freed per team ≈ 0.80 FTE, worth $42,000 a year.

Year 1 vs. steady state

Sensitivity: steady-state net value

Rows = team time on manual work, columns = reduction achieved. Other inputs as set.

Logic: value per team = team size × loaded cost per member × share of time on manual work × reduction × realization. Annual value = value per team × teams per year. Role cost = salary × (1 + load).

Caveats: This models freed capacity (hours that can be redeployed), not guaranteed cash savings. All inputs are illustrative, and a real case should start from a measured baseline. Personal portfolio project.
