Under the same production process, is the production cost of the big water cup and the small water cup only the difference in material cost?

The editor will deal with many customers every year. Among these customers, there are industry veterans and industry newcomers.In dealing with these people, the editor thinks that the most annoying thing is that both veterans and newcomers have a set of ways to understand production costs.Many of these customers are very happy to bargain prices through cost analysis. From the customer's point of view, it is understandable.


There is nothing wrong with reducing procurement costs by communicating with producers through professional knowledge and business skills.However, what hurts the editor is that some customers will communicate with the editor through their own cognition when they do not particularly understand the production process.No matter how I explain it, I can't make it clear, it's the time that gives me the most headaches.


For example, in today's title, when the production process is the same, but the size and capacity are different, are the two water cups really just a little worse in material cost?This question, the editor asked two situations to explain it to you (perhaps this article will not attract as much attention as other water cup articles that are closely related to life, but in order to solve the confusion for professional purchasers, the editor thinks it is necessary to write a special)One situation is: the production process is the same, the capacity is different, but the capacity is not much different.


For example, the production cost of a 400ml stainless steel thermos cup and a 500ml stainless steel thermos cup is compared.400ml is not much different from 500ml.There is not much difference in production efficiency and production loss, and there is not much difference in labor time, so the cost between them can be regarded as the only difference in material cost.


However, if the production process is the same, one of the two water cups with the same structure is 150 ml and the other is 1500 ml, and the production cost between them can be calculated according to the difference in material cost.


First of all, the losses are different.Small water cups are easier to produce than large-capacity water cups, the production time of a single product is shorter, and the yield of each production step is higher.It is obviously unscientific to calculate the cost of these two in terms of material weight.For factories, the calculation of man-hours in the composition of product production costs is also an important part.


The editor will explain to you each production process.Laser welding, the 150ml cup mouth welding takes about 5 seconds to complete, and the 1500ml cup takes about 15 seconds to complete.With a flat mouth, a 150ml cup takes about 3 seconds to complete, and a 1500ml cup takes about 8 seconds to complete.From these two processes, we can see that the production time of 1500ml water cups is more than double the production time of 150ml on average.


A stainless steel thermos goes through more than 20 processes from drawing the tube to the final product.Some water cups with complex structures require more than 40 production processes, and the production time is one aspect.Due to the increased difficulty of large-scale production, the loss of each process will also increase.


Therefore, if the production cost of the 400ml stainless steel thermos cup and the 500ml stainless steel thermos cup is only 1 yuan, then the production cost of the 150ml thermos cup and the 1500ml thermos cup will differ by more than 20 yuan.


Under the same production process, is the production cost of the big water cup and the small water cup only the difference in material cost?
