The
Labor Estimating Group is responsible for carefully reviewing customer supplied
information regarding the assembly, including:
- the bill
of material
- gerber data
- CAD files
- assembly
drawings
- any special
requirements
|
Based on the customer's specifications, the Labor Estimator determines the
best routing through production, and recommends specific equipment, personnel,
tools, and fixtures. These routings and specifications are reviewed as necessary
with Process Engineers, Product Engineers, Component Engineers and Project
Managers to verify that the customer's requirements and expectations
will be met.
The quantities and specifications are then entered into the dsi
labor costing system to determine the time needed for each of the steps
needed for production. These time estimates are used to drive the scheduling
system. The times are multiplied by internal hourly rates for the various production work centers to calculate a labor
cost for the assembly. Once the order is in process, the actual production times
are monitored and recorded to verify the accuracy of the estimate and to
watch for potential processing problems.
