Other Direct Costs

Additional Direct Costs = Colorant Cost * Part Rough Mass / Final Yield

Additional direct costs are the product of the following:

• Colorant cost (default rate of 0, user-specified rate, or standard rate; see Additional User Inputs)

• Part rough mass (see Material Utilization, below)

• Final yield (see Yields)

Amortized Batch Setup = Startup Scrap Cost Per Part +
(Setup Time per Batch *
(Labor Rate + Direct Overhead Rate)) / Batch Size

Amortized batch setup, setup cost per part, depends on the following:

• Startup scrap cost per part (see formula below)

• Setup time per batch (specified by a machine property)

• Labor rate: this is the product of the following:

  • Machine property Labor Rate
  • Cost model variable laborRateAdjustmentFactor (1 in starting point Digital Factories)
  • Machine property Work Center Labor Rate Factor (1 in starting point Digital Factories)

• Direct overhead rate (see Direct and Indirect Overhead)

• Batch size (specified in the Production Scenario screen of the Cost Guide)

Startup Scrap Cost Per Part =
(Sum of Per Part Material, Labor, and Overhead Cost) *
Number of Scrap Parts

Startup scrap cost per part is a function of the following:

• Per part material cost

• Labor cost (see Primary Direct Costs)

• Overhead cost (see Direct and Indirect Overhead)

• Number of scrap parts (see formula below)

Number of Scrap Parts = Default Scrap Time / Cycle Time

Number of scrap parts is the quotient of the following:

• Default scrap time (specified in a cost model variable, scrapTimeInMinutes_IM)

• Cycle time (see Times below)

Total Production Volume = Part Annual Volume * Part Production Life

Total production volume is the product of the following:

• Part annual volume (specified in the Production Info dialog)

• Part production life volume (specified in the Production Info dialog)
