Review Cost Results

The Cost Results tile provides high-level summary information about the costs involved in the manufacturing of the part or assembly component.

Part Scenario Cost Results

For individual part scenarios, the Cost Results tile includes:

  • Piece Part Cost: total cost to make each instance of the component without capital investment. Sum of the material, labor, direct overhead, logistics, setup, and various indirect costs. For more information, see the aP Pro User Guide.

  • Fully Burdened Cost: sum of the Piece Part Cost and the Total Amortized Investments (capital investment). For more information, see the aP Pro User Guide

  • Total Investments: combined cost for additional equipment, tooling, and programming that is required to manufacture the first instance of the component.

  • Target Cost: desired or required maximum cost for manufacturing the component. Displayed only if specified for the scenario.
