Estimates folding or other linear cost and time based on travel inches and direction changes.
Operation Setup Requirements:
- Description
- Rate: Cost per hour
- Sell $ use: Markup % (recommended) or alternate sell rate
- Calc: 16
- Sub Key: Labor
- Travel Rate (Feet/Minute): Folder speed in feet per minute
- Setup Time: Base setup minutes
- Minimum Time: Option to define a minimum number of minutes
- Run Spoilage %: Spoilage %
- Makeready Sheets: Option to add additional sheets for folding setup
- Default Direction Changes
- Default Travel Inches to: One or Form Dimension plus definable gap
- Use Number Up from form: tracks #Out from form and is not editable
- Variable Speed: Option to vary the travel rate based on units (quantity) or travel inches
Estimate Specification Input Prompts:
- Number Up (not editable when track for form on)
- Idents
- Travel Inches (sheet size plus gap inches)
- Direction Changes (number of times paper changes direction in folder)
- Makeready sheets (adds units to preceding operation to allow for makeready, no direct impact on this operation)
- Spoilage %
- J%
- Remarks
- Memo
Calculation:
Deliver Quantity (if last bindery operation) = Estimate Quantity
Deliver Quantity (if not last bindery operation) = Next Bindery Gross Qty + Next Bindery MR Qty
Deliver Qty increases as bindery operations with spoilage and/or makeready sheets are added
Gross Fold Qty = ((Deliver Quantity / Number Up) x Idents) / (1 - run spoilage%)
(((Gross Fold Qty x Travel Inches)/12) / Travel Rate) x (1+(Direction Changes x 0.02)) = Fold Minutes
(Setup Minutes + Fold Minutes) / 60 = Standard Hours
Standard Hours x J% = Estimated Hours
Estimated Hours x Rate = Cost $
Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $
Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $
