Product Costing Tool for the Foundry / Casting Industry
In the fiercely competitive foundry industry, accurate product costing is essential. With thin margins and volatile raw material prices, our new tool brings precision, transparency, and control to you
In the foundry industry, businesses are often controlled by OEMs or big players. These customers dictate the finished product costs. Meanwhile, raw material prices fluctuate based on global market conditions, making them highly volatile. Due to the fierce competition, margins are thin, making accurate cost estimates crucial.
Traditional Cost Estimation Practices:
1.Weight and Material Cost: Multiply the total weight by an average material rate.
2.Overhead Costs: Add average overhead costs and operational expenses.
3.Rough Estimations: Estimate the product weight, size, and process costs.
4.Data Management: Costs are managed in private Excel sheets without historical comparison.
5.No Variance Reporting: Lack of comparison between estimated and actual costs.
6.Profitability Analysis: No analysis of profit-making or loss-making quotes.
The New Product Estimate Tool:
To address these issues, we’ve developed a powerful yet simple product estimate tool. Here are its key features:
1.Raw Material Costs: Uses the latest purchase prices or average costs.
2.Core & Mould Costs: Captures manufacturing costs for cores and moulds.
3.Stagewise Overhead Costs: Includes costs for fettling, painting, machining, electricity, labour, paint, and packaging.
4.Margin Calculation: Provides estimated production costs and calculates margins to determine the final cost based on expected quantities.
5.Historical Data Storage: Stores estimates for comparison with actual production values.
6.Variance Reporting: Generates reports to identify cost differences between estimates and actuals.
7.Gross Profit Reports: Analyses profitability at each item and transaction level.
8.Real-time Data Tracking: Ensures reliability with up-to-date information.
9.Reusable Templates: Offers templates for repeated use.
Our customers have found this tool invaluable for quickly responding to quotations. The increased accuracy provides better negotiation opportunities on various fronts.
