I have to create a buy vs make analysis on a simple frame mount.
So, it is basically two parts.
1) (1) Frame mount plate
2) (3) Gussets
The steps taken to make the part:
1) Laser cut parts
2) Break frame mount plate
3) Weld gussets to frame mount plate
The frame mount plate as weld laser marks, so the welder knows where to place the gusset, so we don't need any fixture or do any measuring.
One of my degrees is in Industrial Engineering, so I understand the concept and the basics of how to do it.
What I have questions on are:
1) What is the hourly overhead cost that you charge? This includes labor, insurance, administration, etc.
2) What is the average cost for stainless steel sheet per pound that you are using?
3) What is the average welding speed you use?
If there are other factors I am missing, please let me know and the specific number you use, if possible. Sorry, if I am long winded. But, I wanted to explain as clearly as I can. If you have any suggestions, references, YouTube, etc. you think would be helpful, please let me know.
I appreciate any help on creating a detailed buy vs make analysis chart.
