Variable vs. Fixed Costs in QAD’s Enterprise Applications (MFG/PRO)
By Andy Vitullo on
9/17/2008 1:44 PM
Standard Costs in QAD’s Software at a basic level has five cost elements. Direct costs for a manufactured item will include the rolled up material cost of components, the total value add of direct labor for its components and the direct labor costs associated with the top level item in the bill of material and finally any outside operational costs for the part. These direct costs populate the material, labor and subcontract elements respectively. This leaves the burden element and the overhead element. How should you approach formulation of the cost to these elements.
