Cost Model - Chipping

Usage of the respective cutting parameters of usual chipping tools

Multi-Level Supply Chain

• Supply Chains (Tier 1, 2, …, n) can now be imputedly displayed.
• Each supplier's scope of delivery is represented by a separate calculation.
• Calculations of different supplier levels can be interlaced.

Importing and Updating own Benchmark Data

From now on, own Benchmark data can be imported and updated via an Excel-Import.

Bill of Material Report

The Bill of Material of a calculation can now be opened via a Bill of Material Report and can be exported, e.g. as an Excel or PDF file.

The Bill of Material Report is divided into four sections:

• Cover Page
• BoM incl. Costs
• Material Overview
• Production Overview

Manufacturing Cells and Machine Periphery

Machines and their periphery can now be combined and imputed in a Manufacturing Cell.

The Purchase Value, the Installation Cost, and the Machine Cost Rate of the Manufacturing Cell are automatically determined based on the attached Machines.
