VR training ROI calculators by industry

Your own operation's, even if estimated: how many people you train or certify per year, how many weeks training takes today and what each week costs, the weeks an expert spends shadowing each new hire, the cost of operating errors (scrap, customer claims and hours of line downtime) and recordable accidents. On the investment side go development or license, equipment and annual support.

It is an estimate with your data and with the reduction percentages you choose, and every calculator shows where the money comes back from. It gets you to the meeting with a number you can explain; the one that holds up with finance comes from a pilot with exit criteria written down before it starts.

It depends on where the problem is. If your people cannot practice a procedure without risk or without stopping the line, use the industrial VR training calculator, or the steel plant one if that is your industry. If the procedure exists but is not performed the same way on the floor, use the GIRI digital work instructions calculator, which also has versions for aviation and mining.
