CALCSTAR – Calculation of quotations for manufacturing companies !
Surcharge and contribution margin accounting with integrated activity-based costing!

CALCSTAR enables not only a transparent standard calculation but also the exact calculation of assemblies and the following special manufacturing processes according to the most modern calculation methods:

  • punching, pressing, deep drawing …
  • plastic injection moulding (multi-component) …
  • die casting, Permanent mold casting…
  • Laser cutting…
  • >Surface finishing (galvanizing, powder coating)…>Pipe processing (IHU)…>Wire processing, bent wire parts. . …

  • Sintering…

The advantages of CALCSTAR: </Time and cost savings (Rapid Quoting),

  • feasibility check according to checklists,
  • comparison of the price determination according to the surcharge calculation at full costs and at partial costs (contribution margin) taking into account the market or target prices,
  • high informative value by applying the relative contribution margin calculation,
  • direct comparability of all created calculations in the form of sortable lists,
  • identification of loss- and profit-prone articles,
  • improvement of communication between several departments through network capability,
  • Calculation taking into account the process costs in the area of material and distribution,

To see the masks of the CALCSTAR software in full screen, please click on the corresponding image…

A clearly arranged menu allows quick access to the different modules.

Listing of all quotation calculations with business key figures such as contribution margin/h; turnover; time requirements are displayed.

In this mask, notes from the sales department can be documented, such as chance of realization in percent, resubmission date, meeting notes …

For each calculation, a production-specific “Feasibility questionnaire” can be processed.

In the form Material the most important data for the input material are documented and calculated. Purchased parts and contract work can be calculated in a separate module. When calculating punched parts, the number of required rings (coils) is automatically determined and displayed.

.

In the form work plan the individual operations are entered and displayed as parallel calculation (comparison of full costs and partial costs). The order time (ta) of the operation “punching” is precisely determined by the entries in the green field (strokes per minute).
In the lower part tool wear and amortisation costs can be calculated.

Over the term, expected price increases and savings can be taken into account in the calculation, and the contribution margin is shown as a total and as a percentage per year. The development is displayed graphically.

The costing printout is structured according to:

  1. material costs
  2. production costs
  3. V+V and profit surcharges…

The costs and prices determined according to the principle of surcharge calculation and contribution margin calculation are displayed in the right columns as parallel costing. The most important business ratios (contribution margin / h, total contribution margin …) are displayed in the lower area of the costing printout.

Our calculation program was described in the Industrieanzeiger under the title "clever calculation and increasing profits".

In the magazine "Maschinenmarkt", issue June 2012, a publication was made under the title: "Permanent price pressure demands more precise calculation".
