Machine Cost Rate Calculation

The machine cost calculation is based on the calculation of the machine's manufacturing overhead costs and the service life of the machine. The costs due for one machine per running hour are calculated. The absorbed costs (total costs for the machine per year) are allocated to the direct production costs using allocation methods. Use *Calculate Cost Rate valuation at the machine to calculate the machine cost rate.

The machine costs (MachC)/machine manufacturing overhead costs are calculated taking the:

  • Physical machine parameters (e.g. acquisition costs),
  • Location factors (e.g. imputed interest rate),
  • Production planning factors (e.g. production quantity),
  • and a combination of these properties (e.g. space costs).

Input Parameters at the Should Cost Calculation

You must enter the machine, location and production data for the machine hourly rate calculation. You can enter these data either manually via local machines or via global machines from the master data. The master data provide you with company-owned and FACTON Benchmark machines.

The followong input parameter in the Details view at should cost calculation level have a direct impact on the machine hourly rate calculation:

  • Production Quantity
  • Additional Production Quantity
  • Scrap Production Quantity
  • Relevant Production Quantity Rate incl. Scrap
  • Imputed Interest Rate
  • Electricity Cost Rate
  • Floorspace Cost Rate
  • Water Cost Rate
  • Gas Cost Rate
  • Compressed Air Cost Rate
  • Gross Production Time Capacity
