"Machine - Properties" dialog

This dialog allows you to define all of the machine properties required for calculating a project-specific machine hourly rate.

 

"General" tab

The "General" tab contains the master data for the machine - including the name, the inventory number and a description of the machine.

 

"Special" tab

The "Special" tab enables you to define the machine properties for allocation, e.g. shift model, capacity and performance rate.

"Location" comboboxes

Set the calendar year in the first combobox and the location where the machine is used in the second combobox.

 

"Shift model" combobox

Set the shift model used for the machine. For machines from Data Administration, the allocated and active shift model is preset.

"Allocation of Machine Cost" group

You can set the method for allocating machine costs in this group and display the consumption parameters for the machine hour rate.

• "Average project utilization" option

  The allocation is calculated using the average utilization for the machine for the duration of the project. The machine hour rate remains constant throughout the duration of the project.

• "Project utilization" option

  The actual annual utilization of the machine is taken into account. The machine hour rate is calculated for each year.

• "Shift model capacity" option

  The allocation type listed under shift model is used. If no shift model has been specified, you can enter the value manually into the "Capacity - Shift model" value field.

• "Consider maximum number of machines in subsequent years" checkbox

  When this checkbox is activated, the number of machines from the year with the highest value in the "Number of Machines > Relevant" row is applied to the subsequent years.

  The checkbox can only be activated if the system settings are changed to ensure that the number of machines should be considered for the machine cost rate calculation.

  Further Information see System Settings > "Utilization" group.

Machine capacity table

This table displays various parameters of the machine hour rate calculation for the duration of the project.

• "Capacity and Workload" level

  This level shows the machine capacity, utilization and workload for the duration of the project, i.e. for each calculation year.

  Column	Description
  Years (bold font)	Shows the values of the machine in the current project.
  Years (normal font)	Shows the values of the referenced machine in the external project.

Row	Description
Capacity - Shift Model	Shows the maximum capacity of the machine depending on the shift model in hours per year. The maximum capacity of a machine is an absolute value that describes how many hours a machine can operate per year. The maximum capacity can only be entered manually when no shift model is selected.
Performance Index	Shows the percentage factor for the performance rate. The performance rate describes the percentage of the maximum capacity that can actually be used, minus maintenance and downtime.
Utilization - Manual	Shows the manual utilization of the machine in hours per year. The manual utilization is an absolute value that describes how many hours a machine is used per year. If you activate the checkbox you can manually enter the utilization for each individual production year. Note The manual utilization is used to calculate the machine hour rates when using "Retain the same values when released" for machine references. For further information, see "Select External Projects" dialog.
Utilization - Total	Shows the total utilization of the machine in hours per year. It is the product of the workload multiplied by the available capacity. The total utilization is an absolute value that describes how many hours a machine is used per year.
Capacity - Available	Displays the available capacity in hours per year. It is the product of the performance index multiplied by the machine capacity. The available capacity is an absolute value that describes how many hours a machine can actually be utilized per year.
Capacity - Deviation	Shows the capacity deviation between the total and the available capacity in hours per year. The workload is an absolute value that describes how many hours a machine is free per year.
Workload	Shows the percentage machine workload measured by the available capacity. The value is calculated. You can only enter the workload manually if you select the "Shift model capacity" option.
Workload - Absolute	Shows the absolute workload of the machine in hours per year, measured by the available capacity. The machine workload is calculated. You can only enter the workload manually if you have selected the "Shift model capacity" option.

 

• "Number of Machines" level

  This level shows the theoretical number of machines required for the workload of each calculation year - rounded and not rounded.

  Row	Description
  Position	Shows the number of required machines for the usage position in the project.
  Project	Shows the number of required machines for the entire project.
  Total	Shows the number of required machines for all references of this machine across all cross-project positions of these machines.
  Relevant	Shows the relevant number of required machines. The relevant number is used to calculate the workload and the machine cost rate. The relevant number can be calculated or manually overwritten (it then corresponds to the total number of machines). Note If you overwrite the relevant number of machines, then changes in the project can no longer be considered when calculating the machine cost rates. The relevant number of machines cannot be overwritten if the machine cost rate calculation is performed on the basis of shift model allocation or the system settings were not configured to consider the number of machines. For more information, see Project-specific machines.
