Matrix Costing allows you to automatically generate multiple comparison scenarios for a single part, assembly or roll-up, comparing different values for Digital Factory, production volume, and batch size. You can then use Matrix Costing to automatically load these generated scenarios into the Bulk Costing facility, enabling you to cost them all at once and then compare the results.
Matrix Costing does not support nested roll-ups.
Benefits of Matrix Costing
-
Saves creation time: Matrix Costing automatically creates multiple comparison scenarios, rather than you needing to create these individual scenarios yourself.
-
Saves analysis time: Matrix Costing automatically loads scenarios into Bulk Costin,g so you can analyze them all at once.
-
Enables quick comparisons: Matrix Costing allows you to quickly make multiple changes to Digital Factory, Volume and Batch size values, in a single dialog.
Matrix Costing or Bulk Costing
When deciding whether to use Matrix Costing or Bulk Costing (see Bulk Costing and Analysis), consider:
-
Matrix costing is best when comparing differences in Digital Factory, Volume and Batch size values, for a single part.
-
Bulk Costing has more versatile comparison options, but you need to create separate scenarios to reflect those options.
