Unit Production Cost

Internal Name: UnitProductionCost

Type: Short Text (255)

RNE Eligible

Specifies the average cost per unit for production to be used for this time period.

As an alternative to a simple constant cost, you can set up a cost schedule using step costs. You can define these step costs in the Step Cost Definitions and Step Costs tables. You can also define the step cost using the Step Cost Builder on the field. The builder creates values with a bracketed format, using quantity break points and different costs such as <0|1.50> <5000|1.25> <10000|1.00>. Using this example, the sourcing cost per unit is:

• 1.50 for units 0 through to 5,000
• 1.25 for units 5,000 through to 10,000
• 1.00 for units 10,000 and up.

For an order consisting of 20,000 units, the total cost is:

(5,000-0)*1.50 + (10,000-5,000)*1.25 + (20,000-10,000)*1.00 = 23,750.

When setting costs in Multi-Period models, for optimization, if Unit Production Cost is not specified in the Multi-Time Period record, the Unit Production Cost from the Production Policies table is used.

Production Frequency

Technology: NO IO S

Table: ProductionPolicies_MultiPeriod

Internal Name: DaysBetweenProductions

Type: Short Text (50)

The number of days between production occurring at manufacturing sites that have Make policies. This field is used to calculate the amount of cycle stock that should be held at the manufacturing sites. This value is equivalent to the number of units produced divided by the number of production turns that occur during the time period.
