Formula

C_{\text{total}} = C_{\text{material}} + \sum_{i} (t_i \cdot R_{\text{machine},i}) + C_{\text{tooling}} + C_{\text{overhead}}

Activity-based manufacturing costing for CNC milling, turning, sheet laser cutting, and surface treatment.

Assumptions

  • · Machine hourly rates amortize capital depreciation, power, maintenance, and operator labor
  • · Raw material stock nesting factor and machining chip scrap allowance accounted for in billet volume
  • · Setup and programming non-recurring engineering (NRE) amortized across production batch size N
