-
How does the process actually work/what is being created?
-
If material is being used you probably need to figure out the volume
-
Can you pack multiple customer jobs into one?
-
Charge the customer for their parts only or for the entire process?
-
Is the customer bringing their own stock?
-
How long does it take the machine to complete the job?
-
-
-
What consumables are being used?
-
How much do we pay for those consumables?
-
Charge cost or double cost for consumables?
-
Are any of the consumables being reused for other jobs?
-
Charge less for those?
-
Helps to break consumable cost into smaller units of measure
-
Example consumables - Material, gases, cleaning supplies
-
-
-
Identify time it will take operators to:
-
Prepare the job
-
Post-Process the job
-
Include cleaning steps
-
Labor is estimated at $13/hr
-
-
-
Do you need to add in extra costs?
-
Examples:
-
Failure rate
-
Using extra material for large jobs
-
-
-
Machine Cost (C)
-
Annual Usage (AU)
-
Lifespan (L)
-
Depreciation = C/(AU*L)
-
-
-
Create the cost script using Google Sheets to make sure the numbers make sense
-
This step will help prepare you to write the Papercut cost script
-
-
-
Are researchers using the machine/process?
-
This will incur a different pricing scheme
-
Internal - $25/hr
-
External - $50/hr
-
Corporate - $100/hr
-
-
-
Add up all the costs to create the final cost
