How can I estimate the manufacturing cost of a device, given the price of the sheets? How should the processing factor be determined?

Thread Content

Our company wants to manufacture several sets of equipment and would like to get an estimate for the costs; I know the weight of each component of the equipment. For example, a set of containers consists of metal tanks with flat tops and conical bottoms. When it is made of carbon steel, the weight of the pipe is 10 kilograms, and the price of the pipe is 5 yuan per kilogram. What is then the processing factor? What factors should be used for 304 stainless steel or 316L? If I know that a flange weighs 20 kilograms and I only know the price of the material sheet, such as 135 yuan per kilogram for 304 sheet metal, what processing factor should I apply? Moreover, different parts should be assigned different processing coefficient values. I really don’t understand this at all. Could anyone who knows explain it, or provide an example or a table or something? Thank you, experts!

Before, equipment processing was a combination of part work and material provision; now I’m not sure.

For carbon steel and stainless steel, the costs are basically split evenly between the materials and labor

Plate price + pipe price for connectors + flange price + externally purchased hardware = material cost. The cost of carbon steel equipment is generally between 10,000 and 15,000; for stainless steel equipment, it is equal to the material cost multiplied by 1.5 to 1.8, which gives the equipment price. The value of X depends on the complexity of the equipment

Our company is a manufacturing firm; at present, we mainly handle processing based on specific work orders and materials. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 99350012
