Quickly teach you to calculate the cost of machined parts

How is the cost of machined parts accounted for? When the metal material cost is certain, the main difference lies in the different labor costs, transportation costs, consumption costs and taxes of each company, so what kind of way are most of these parts calculated by machining factories?

Detailed calculation of the cost of machined parts

• 1) First you can ask the other party to provide preliminary process arrangements for critical or complex parts, down to the details of each process and the time spent on each process.
• (2) According to the hourly cost of equipment required for each process, you can calculate the processing cost. Specific equipment costs you can also ask the supplier to ask, for example: ordinary vertical plus between ¥ 60-80 per hour (including tax); milling machine, general equipment such as ordinary car is generally ¥ 30.
• (3) In proportion to add packaging and transportation, management costs, tooling, profit is the price. Of course, the price will be to a certain extent and the annual purchase volume of the part and the degree of difficulty has a lot to do with. It is easy to understand that the price difference between a single part and a lot can be significant.

Rough estimation method for the cost of machined parts

1) For large parts, large volume and heavy weight.
Difficulty in general: processing costs and the entire part of the raw metal material cost ratio of 1:1, this ratio is inversely proportional to the purchase volume.
Difficult: the processing cost is about 1.2-1.5:1 to the cost of raw metal materials of the whole part, and this ratio is inversely proportional to the procurement volume.
2) For small and medium-sized parts
Difficulty in general: processing costs and the entire part of the cost of raw metal materials ratio of 2-3:1, this ratio is inversely proportional to the procurement volume.
Difficult: processing cost is about 5-10:1 with the whole part raw metal material cost ratio, this ratio is inversely proportional to the procurement volume.
Because of the mechanical processing process flexibility, that is, a part can have a variety of process arrangements, then of course the cost is not the same, but the supplier will sometimes quote you a complex process to raise prices, while the actual production will use other simple processes, so the purchaser’s own reading of the drawings and the amount of knowledge about the processing of parts will determine your grasp of the cost, so Mechanical parts procurement requires a more comprehensive knowledge of machining.

Machining cost components generally according to the work hours

If you want to process a workpiece, first of all, the other party’s metal material costs; then some travel costs for the purchase of the workpiece (generally not).
The main thing is the processing hours required for the workpiece you want to process, generally 20-40 yuan / hour for turning, a little less for clamping about 8-12 / hour; the rest are not in the example.
If there is no ready-made tools (such as tools, molds), the cost of the purchase is also required you to bear part of or all; finally add up to the processing costs you have to pay.
Material costs, machine depreciation, labor costs, overhead, taxes and other basic ones are required. Or metal material costs, processing costs and taxes, as well as business costs, transportation costs, to do the budget needs to have a very thorough understanding of the market, not in which to feel a few years will be completely clueless.
The process of the problem should include metal material costs, processing costs (using what kind of processing price will be different), equipment depreciation, workers’ wages, overhead, taxes, etc.. The main thing is to determine the process, that is, the processing method, and then according to the process to calculate the hours of work, by the hours of work to determine the basic processing costs of individual parts, plus other costs. Process is a very complex study ah A part using different processes, the price of the difference.

Basic cost of hours

In fact, there is no fixed price for various types of work, depending on the difficulty of the workpiece, the size of the equipment, performance and different, of course, the key depends on how much your volume is, but generally speaking it has a basic price, floating between the basic price:
1. The basic price of the machining: 20-40 yuan / hour
There are specific depending on the actual situation, like small pieces, very simple work less than 20 yuan; sometimes even only 15 yuan.
For example, some large pulleys, processing margin, the boss only earn money for cast iron powder is enough; sometimes if the workpiece is large, the general market can not be processed on the high point, two or three times, others can not help.
2. The basic price of grinding: 25-45 yuan / hour.
3. The basic price of milling: 25-45 yuan / hour.
4. The basic price of drilling: 15-35 yuan / hour.
5. Basic price of planing: 15-35 yuan/hour.
6. The basic price of wire cutting: 3-4/900 square mm.
7. Basic price of EDM: 10-40, single piece is generally 50/piece (less than 1 hour).
8. NC’s basic price: 2-4 times more expensive than the ordinary.
9. Engraving: generally are single pieces, 50-500 / piece of course, or a word, specific product-specific prices.
The above prices are only for reference, if you have any experience, I hope you can also say, we can communicate together.
