When creating a job for a notional part, the material and labor allocations are dependant on the co-product types and quantities included against the notional part.
The material and labor allocations are explained using an example.
Example:
The following bill of materials was created:
-
Notional part N (qty per 1) with three co-products (A, B and C) attached.
- Operation Op 1 (6 hours)
- Operation Op 2 Subcontract (50.00 each)
-
Component C1 (qty per 30)
-
Component C2 (qty per 60)
-
Component C3 (qty per 10)
-
By product Z (qty per -15)
You use the BOM Co-products program to apportion the percentage of materials associated with each co-product.
In this example, the percentage apportionment of materials associated with each co-product are as follows:
| Co-product | Qty per of N | Material Apportionment % | Labor Apportionment % | Subcontract Apportionment % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 10 | 50 | 25 | 0 |
| B | 10 | 0 | 50 | 100 |
| C | 20 | 50 | 25 | 0 |
![[Note]](images/note.png)
|
|
|
Each apportionment (material, labor and subcontract) must add up to 100% (i.e. total material apportionment percentage for co-product A + B + C = 100%; total labor apportionment percentage for co-product A + B + C = 100% and total subcontract apportionment percentage for co-product A + B + C = 100%). |
|
Applying the percentage apportionments of materials, the quantities associated with each co-product are as follows:
Co-product A:
| Component | Qty per of N | Qty (10 * A) 50% | Qty Per - Co-product A |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | 30 | 15.000 | 1.500 |
| C2 | 60 | 30.000 | 3.000 |
| C3 | 10 | 5.000 | .500 |
| Z | -15 | -7.500 | -0.75 |
Co-product B has no material cost apportionment, so no materials are apportioned to it.
Co-product C:
| Component | Qty per of N | Qty (20 * C) 50% | Qty Per - Co-product C |
|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | 30 | 15.000 | 0.750 |
| C2 | 60 | 30.000 | 1.500 |
| C3 | 10 | 5.000 | 0.250 |
| Z | -15 | -7.500 | -0.375 |
The same logic is applied to the internal and subcontract operations, giving the following apportionments for operations:
| Component | Qty/Run of N | Co-product A (10 of) | Co-product B (10 of) | Co-product C (20 of) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Op 1 | 6.00 hours | 1.5 hours (25%) | 3 hours (50%) | 1.5 hours (25%) |
| Op 2 (subcontract) | 50.00 (monetary value) | 0 (0%) | 50.00 (monetary value) (100%) | 0 (0% |
Note that co-product B has 100% apportionment for the subcontract operation.
If we selected to enter the co-product quantities to make (WIP Setup - Job Creation tab), then not only is the notional part quantity to make calculated, but also the material quantity per and the labor run time.
For example:
We create a job and enter the co-product quantities to make as follows:
| Quantity Entered | Calculated Co-product A | Calculated Co-product B | Calculated Co-product C | Calculated Notional Part N |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 (co-product A) | 10 (entered) | 10 | 20 | 1 |
| 20 (co-product B) | 20 | 20 (entered) | 40 | 2 |
| 10 (co-product C) | 5 | 5 | 10 (entered) | 0.5 |
Example 1 - Excluding a co-product from manufacture
If the co-products are defined as optional (BOM Co-products) and we enter the co-products as follows:
-
Co-product A - 0 (excluded)
-
Co-product B - 20 (10 per notional part)
-
Co-product C - 40 (20 per notional part)
The calculated notional quantity is 2 (based on either co-product B or C)
| Component | Normal Qty per of N | Normal Total | Adjusted Total (50%) | New Qty Per |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C1 | 30 | 60.000 | 30.000 | 15.000 |
| C2 | 60 | 120.000 | 60.000 | 30.000 |
| C3 | 10 | 20.000 | 10.000 | 5.000 |
| Z | -15 | -30.000 | -15.000 | -7.500 |
|
|
|
|
Because co-product A takes 50% of all material apportionment, the quantities are reduced by 50% across the board. If co-product B were excluded, then the quantities would not change, as 0% of the components are apportioned to co-product B. |
|
Using the same example and applying this to the operations, the results are:
| Operation | Normal Run | Normal Total | Adjusted Run | New Qty Per |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Op 1 | 6 hours | 12 hours | 9 hours (75%) | 4.5 hours |
| Op 2 | 50.00 (monetary value) | 100.00 (monetary value) | 100.00 (monetary value) | 50.00 (monetary value) |
Note: Co-product A takes 25% of internal operation Op 1, so the run time is reduced by 3 hours, but because 0% of the subcontract operation Op 2 is apportioned to co-product A, the value remains the same, even though co-product A was excluded from the build.
If co-product B were to be excluded from the build, then only one operation Op 1 would be created as Op 2, the subcontract operation, only applies to co-product B which was excluded.
Because co-product A was excluded from the build, the apportionment percentages no longer add up to 100% ans these must now be recalculated.
The new apportionments against the co-products is as follows:
| Co-product | Qty per of N | Material Apportionment % | Labor Apportionment % | Subcontract Apportionment % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | 10 | 0 | 66.667 | 100 |
| C | 20 | 100 | 33.333 | 0 |
A proportional type of co-product can be used to define the limits of how many of each co-product can be defined against each notional part. In this environment imagine the notional part being a physical ‘constraint’ such as an anodizing bath or a pottery oven.
Both of these constraints are limited by the volume of items (not necessarily the quantity as each item requires more or less space) that can be processed at any one time.
In this example the co-products are cups and saucers that need glazing in a pottery oven. The notional part is the pottery oven and the co-product quantities and apportionment percentages are as follows:
| Co-product | Quantity per | Proportional Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Cup | 50 | 25% |
| Saucer | 50 | 75% |
In a single normal run (i.e. for each notional part) you can glaze 50 cups and 50 saucers at a time.
The proportional percentage of each co-product means that the 50 cups only take up 25% of the capacity of the oven and the 50 saucers take up 75%.
If you were to do a run of cups only, then the total would be calculated as: (1/0.25) x 50 = 200
If you were to do a run of saucers only, then the total would be calculated as: (1/0.75) x 50 = 66.66667 or 66. The reason for this is that if we rounded the saucers up to 67, then the limit of 100% would be exceeded. The total percentage on proportional items can, however be less than 100%, but not more.
If you exclude the saucers then the proportion of the quantity percentage would only be 25%. What this means is that you could adjust the quantity per of the cups so as to utilize the full capacity of the oven.
In this example to increase the proportional quantity percentage back up to 100% you could glaze 200 cups per oven.
If you were to do a run of cups only, then the total would be calculated as: (1/0.25) x 50 = 200
Likewise were you to do a run of saucers only then you could glaze a total of 66 per oven.
If you were to do a run of saucers only, then the total would be calculated as: (1/0.75) x 50 = 66.66667 or 66. The reason for this is that if we rounded the saucers up to 67, then the limit of 100% would be exceeded.
It is important to note that the total percentage on proportional items cannot exceed 100%, however it can be less than 100%.
