Cost Summary Tab
The Cost Summary tab displays detailed costing information for a part or an assembly. It provides Current, Previous, and Last Saved information.
The Cost Summary tab shows the following details:
Cost type |
Cost name |
Description |
---|---|---|
Variable Costs |
Material |
The cost of the material used to manufacture the part. Includes allocation of scrap material wasted during manufacturing. It does not include consumable material, such as weld wire or adhesives. |
|
Labor |
The cost of labor needed to manufacture the part or assembly. Usually includes hourly wages and benefits. |
|
Direct Overhead |
Costs associated with machine operation, such as the machine's power costs, depreciation, or maintenance, based on time. |
|
Batch Setup (amortized) |
The cost configuring a machine to run a batch of a given design (accounts for machine downtime and labor incurred). The cost is amortized to individual parts or assemblies by dividing by the number of components in a batch. |
|
Logistics |
The cost of transportation between supply chain facilities. |
|
Material Overhead |
Overhead costs associated with the purchase and storage of material, as well as with moving material to the work center. |
|
Expendable Tooling |
The cost of tooling, such as a drill bit or turret press punch, consumed during manufacturing of many different parts. |
|
Additional Direct Costs |
Other miscellaneous costs not accounted for in above categories. The default value is zero. |
|
Extra Costs |
A “placeholder” line item to be used for miscellaneous costs. The default value is zero, but your Digital Factory may be customized to use this field to capture specific types of costs and relabeled as needed. See Managing cost taxonomy display names in the Digital Factory Admin Guide. |
|
Other Direct Costs |
The subtotal of Expendable Tooling, Additional Direct Costs, and Extra Costs. |
|
Total Variable Costs |
The marginal cost to make “one more” part for a given design, which includes all Variable Costs associated with the creation of a part, but does not include depreciation of capital tooling. |
Period Costs |
Period Overhead Allocations |
Period or indirect overheads are general expenses for each financial period (such as factory depreciation) that cannot be associated or amortized to a specific design. |
Margin |
Margin |
The profit margin charged on each part/assembly. Calculated by multiplying a margin percentage value by the sum of the above costs. The margin percentage defaults to 0 in the Regional Data Libraries but can be configured by customers. |
Piece Part Cost |
Piece Part Cost |
The total cost of making a part, including margin if applied but excluding tooling-related Fixed Costs. |
Fixed Costs |
Hard Tooling (amortized) |
The cost of capital or hard tools needed to manufacture one specific design, which cannot be used to create other designs. |
|
Fixture Cost (amortized) |
The cost of devices that hold a specific part or assembly in the correct orientation on a machine during manufacture or assembly. These devices are not to be re-used for a part or an assembly of a different design. |
|
Programming Cost (amortized) |
The cost of creating a computer program that Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines follow to make or assemble parts of a specific design. |
|
Additional Amortized Investments |
Other miscellaneous costs not accounted for in the above categories. |
|
Total Amortized Investments |
The sum of all fixed costs. Fixed costs must be incurred before the start of manufacturing. In aP Pro, all fixed costs are amortized to the individual part or assembly by dividing the total, up-front cost for the fixed cost (capital cost) by the Total Product Volume. |
|
Fully Burdened Cost of Assembly Processes |
The sum of Piece Part Cost and Fixed Costs for the Assembly Processes. This cost applies only to assemblies. |
|
Fully Burdened Cost of Subcomponents |
This is the total of the Fully Burdened Costs for all the level children (parts and assemblies) of the top-level assembly or roll-up. This cost applies only to assemblies. |
|
Fully Burdened Cost |
For parts, the sum of Piece Part Cost and Fixed Costs. |
Capital Costs
|
Hard Tooling |
Capital or hard tools are purchased for creating one specific design and cannot be used to create others. The Capital Cost is the price to buy one set of the tooling. |
|
Fixture Cost |
The cost of devices that hold a specific part or assembly in the correct orientation on a machine during manufacture or assembly. These devices are not supposed to be re-used for a part or an assembly of a different design. The capital cost is the price to buy one set of the tooling. |
|
Programming Cost |
The cost of creating a computer program that Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines will follow to make or assemble parts of a specific design. |
|
Total Capital Investments |
The total amount a company must invest in fixed costs before the first part can be made. This cost is fixed because the company incurs the cost whether it makes one part or the total number of parts allowable before tooling must be refurbished or replaced. |
