Quoting a job for manufacturing

We do this periodically.

For each year of the analysis, we do a sheet like this �

Capital [By Outsourcing, In-house] * Assembly * Testing * Total

Working capital [By Outsourcing, In-house] <=inventory holding cost

Expenses [By Outsourcing, In-house] * Consulting fee * Engineering support * Upfront assessment * Part number generation * Purchasing support * Floor space * Shop supplies * Incoming freight * Maintenance * Operators * Training * Total

Direct cost per unit [By Parts, Bare PCB, Material] * Product1 * Product2 * Product3

Cost rollup per unit [By PCB direct material costs for each product system and by Outsourcing, In-house] * Expenses [Number of PCB per system times total expenses divided by total boards] * Working capital cost [Number of PCB per system times 6 % of working capital divided by total boards] * Total

Sales forecast [By year] * Product1 * Product2 * Product3

Net present value [By year] * Outsourcing * In-house assembly * Difference in cash flow

On placement pricing, search the fine SMTnet Archives.

There is two directions I see here...1) you are looking for a bid comaprison or 2) you are going to build boards with the machines you cause they are not being used in full capasity.

Some OEMs and/or CEMs charge extra for "cut tape" (Not full reel)components for they may need to be hand placed if they do not have a machine that can accept cut tape. Assembled quanity is key low numbers are higher do to set up time. Higher volume is a lil cheaper do to less tear down time.We first rank a board on complexity and manufacturability.That ranking falls into a price matrix. Some OEM's (i.e. Siemens, Suzuki, UIC.....) can do a through put analysis that helps on assembly time ultimately giving you the variables for price per placement. Remember this through put is a ball park analysis.
