Financial Models

The tool makes it easier to automatically calculate material utilization, total material cost, total labor burden cost, labor cost, burden cost per hour, total annual cost, total variable cost, fixed overhead cost, final selling price, and specific information on production tooling. Additionally, it offers information on the total cost of the tools, the overall lead time, the cost of the prototypes, and the piece price per unit.

This is an automated and thorough template that enables users to compute costs related to various elements like raw materials, labor, overhead, preproduction costs, tooling/machining, and more.

Should-Cost modeling is a critical procedure for calculating the anticipated cost of a product, taking into account elements like the price of raw materials, manufacturing costs, process overheads, and a reasonable profit margin. Engineering teams frequently rely on sourcing teams for cost data instead of conducting a thorough evaluation of product costs themselves. When should-cost models are used, however, engineering teams can evaluate various design concepts with an eye toward achieving the target cost during the development phase and effectively take part in sourcing activities. An effective should-cost model can be created by incorporating strategic sourcing and the engineering team into the cost modeling process. Because they are armed with detailed cost information from the cost model, the sourcing team is better able to negotiate with suppliers.
