The transfer route costs option in the assemblies module can be used to calculate the total overhead and labour costs for a route and transfer the totals back into an assembly:
The details of each assembly contain a typical batch size. This is used to calculate the costs of each operation as follows:
Total Time Per Item |
Operation Time Per + ((Setup Time + Setdown Time) ÷ Typical Batch Size) |
Overhead Cost For Operation |
Total Time Per Item x Overhead Rate |
Labour Cost For Operation |
Total Time Per Item x Labour Rate |
The costs for all the operations in the route are calculated in this way and the totals passed to the Assemblies module.
