Estimates press cost, time and gross run sheets for operations always requiring a single pass regardless of colors. Die Cutting is a common example.
Operation Setup Requirements:
Operation Setup Requirements:
- Description
- Rate: Cost per hour
- Sell $ use: Markup % (recommended) or alternate sell rate
- Calc: 17
- Sub Key: Labor
- Minimum Press Run Time: Option for minimum press run minutes (for short runs, drying, etc.)
- Maximum Press Length & Width: Maximum run size dimensions in inches
- Estimated Units/Hour: Default impressions per hour
- Spoilage: Default spoilage percent
- Default MR Sheets: Option to add additional sheets for setup
- Default to UPH: Default speed adjustment to UPH (vs. J%)
- Run Sheets Tab: Option to vary UPH and spoilage by number of run sheets
- Coverage Tab: Option to define UPH limit based on ink coverage %
- Caliper Tab: Option to define UPH limit based on paper caliper
Estimate Specification Input Prompts:
- Number Up
- Idents
- Run Size
- Finish Size
- Makeready sheets (adds units to preceding operation to allow for makeready, no direct impact on this operation)
- Units/Hr (if UPH adjust selected)
- J% (if J% adjust selected)
- Run Spoilage %
- Remarks
- Memo
Computer 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 Run Sheets = ((Deliver Quantity / Number Out) x Idents) / (1 - run spoilage%)
Gross Run Sheets / UPH = Standard Hours
Standard Hours x J% = Estimated Hours (if less then minimum press run time, min used)
Estimated Hours x Rate = Cost $
Cost $ x Markup % = Markup $
Cost $ + Markup $ = Sell $
