Coimbatore makes pumps, motors and castings, and sends knitwear out of Tiruppur an hour down the road. Both are costing problems before they are accounting problems: a foundry needs to know what a casting cost after rejections, and a knitwear exporter needs to know what a garment cost after four job workers touched it.
| Element | Cost | Per piece |
|---|---|---|
| Metal charged | 2,84,000.00 | 710.00 |
| Melting & power | 96,400.00 | 241.00 |
| Moulding & labour | 58,000.00 | 145.00 |
| Rejections (18 pcs) | 20,592.00 | 51.48 |
Cost spread over good castings rather than over everything poured, which is the only figure that means anything in a foundry.
Pump and motor assemblies with sub-assemblies, each carrying a real cost that rolls up to the finished unit.
Fabric to knitting, dyeing, printing and stitching, with stock staying yours at each unit and cost accumulating through the chain.
Engineering and garment exports with or without payment of tax, in foreign currency, matching the shipping bill.
Energy booked into production cost rather than left as an overhead, which for a foundry changes the answer materially.
Rosters, unpaid breaks and overtime against the shift actually worked, feeding the payroll and the job cost.
Yes. Rejections are recorded on the production run and the cost is spread over the good castings, which is the only cost per piece worth quoting from. Spreading it over everything poured understates it every time.
Yes — fabric goes out to knitting, dyeing, printing and stitching on challans, stays your stock at each, and accumulates cost through the chain so the finished garment carries what it actually cost.
Yes, as an overhead allocated to the run rather than absorbed into general expenses, which matters a great deal for melting and processing operations.
Yes, as branches of one company or as separate companies depending on how you are registered, with their own stock, costs and reporting in either case.
Start free, record a production run with its rejections, and get a cost per good piece.
