Outdated hourly rate
The machine hourly rate in your costing tool is years old. Energy costs and maintenance have risen since then, but nobody structurally recalculates it.
PRODUCTION & MANUFACTURING
What does that machine really cost, per hour?
Most SMEs calculate with a fixed hourly rate set years ago. Energy, depreciation and utilization have changed since then — your product price hasn't.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Three reasons your product price no longer covers the actual cost.
Utilization rate unknown
You don't know exactly how much of the available machine time is truly productive. A low utilization rate pushes the real cost price up sharply — invisibly.
One rate for every machine
An old and a new machine get the same hourly rate, while depreciation and energy use differ sharply — so your cost price per product is wrong.

Infographic: machine hourly rate breakdown
Visual breakdown of depreciation, energy, maintenance and utilization into one correct hourly rate per machine — to be replaced by a real screenshot or illustration.
Hourly rate per machine
Every machine gets its own up-to-date hourly rate based on actual depreciation, energy and maintenance.
Utilization rate visible
You immediately see which machines are underutilized — and what that costs your cost price per product.
Correct cost price per product
Quotes and sale prices are based on the actual production cost, not on a rate from five years ago.
Do you know exactly what a machine costs per hour — energy and depreciation included — and how that affects your product price?
