Calculate Casted Material

This quantity valuation offers you the material quantity calculation for casted materials, so that this rather complex calculation needn't be calculated and documented outside FACTON.

The following example shows the use of a material quantity calculation:

Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation

Further Information ► Create Should Cost Calculation

Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)

By selecting the Calculate Casted Material quantity valuation, a more extended calculation logic becomes available.

Note

You can insert the material

The latter is shown in the following, because it illustrates the inputs required for calculation.

 

Insert a Local Material (Mass)

  1. Select the should cost calculation in the Structure view.
  2. Click on Edit ► Insert ► Insert New Local Material (Mass).

    A local material is added under the should cost calculation.

  3. In the Details ► Calculation view schema (combobox) select the Calculate Casted Material quantity valuation.
  4. Define the following properties for the material:
    5. Valuation *Calculate Costs
    Quantity Valuation Calculate Casted Material
    Density 7.85 g / cm³
       
    Net Weight of Casted Part 0.50 kg / pc
    Number of cavities 4.00
       
    Machined Parts
    Weight of the Machined Part 0.35 kg / pc
       
    Gating and Feeders
    Weight of Gating System and Feeders 1.40 kg
       
    Melting Loss
    Melting Loss 0.15 kg
       
    Price Source Standard
    Price per Unit 23.00 EUR / kg
    Refund per Unit 15.00 EUR / kg

Based on the input, the following values are calculated:

Input Calculates the

Volume of Casted Part

( Consider Volume)
  • Volume of Machined Part
  • Weight of Chips
  • Share of Weight of Chips on Weight of Machined Part

Weight of the Machined Part

( Machined Part)
  • Volume of Machined Part
  • Relevant Weight of Machined Part
  • Relevant Volume of Machined Part
Net Weight of Casted Part
  • Volume of Casted Part
  • Weight of Chips
  • Share of Weight of Chips on Weight of Machined Part
Number of Cavities
  • Weight of all Cavities

Weight of Gating System and Feeders

( Gating and Feeders)
  • Share of Gating System and Feeders Based on Weight of all Cavities
  • Volume of Gating System and Feeders
  • Weight of Gating System and Feeders per Part
  • Shot Weight
  • Shot Volume

Melting Loss ► Melting Loss

( Gating and Feeders)
  • Melting Loss in % Based on Shot Weight
  • Melting Loss in % Based on Net Weight Casted Part
  • Melting Loss in % Based on Net Weight Machined Part
  • Weight of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders
  • Share of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders

Melting Loss ► Feeder System Loss Rate

( Gating and Feeders)
  • Feeder System Loss (Fettling)
  • Weight of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders
  • Share of Recirculated Material of Gating System and Feeders

The following property values are also calculated based on the input:

  • Melting Weight
  • Melting Volume
  • Melting Weight per Part
  • Relevant Net Quantity
  • Markup Rate on Net Quantity
  • Markup on Net Quantity
  • Gross Quantity
  • Share of Recycling Material
  • Recycling Quantity
  • Loss Quantity Rate
  • Loss Quantity
  • Relevant Quantity

The following checkbox allows you to consider the inbound logistics costs per material unit.
