QuoteCQ: How To Create Labor Activities

QuoteCQ utilizes the Activity Costs model when estimating your labor costs.

The advantages of this model include allowing you to identify the assembly routing during quotes that will be passed on to production when a job is won in order to minimize the gap between estimated and actual labor costs.

To begin estimating your labor costs in QuoteCQ, you would add Labor Activities (the action being performed - i.e. Pick and Place).

How to create Labor Activities

1. Navigate to Configuration using the 3-gear icon

   

2. Click the Labor tile to open your labor settings

   

3. Select Labor Activities and click the + to add a new labor activity

   

4. Begin filling out the popup to create a new labor activity

   

   1. Name: What is the activity?

   2. Activity Category: Is it a setup activity (i.e. kitting) or a variable activity (i.e. pick and place)?

   3. Driver: How is the activity counted (i.e. per SMT component for pick and place)?

   4. Time: How long does each action take (i.e. what is the time per SMT placement)?

   5. Time Count Type: Should the driver counts be fixed (users cannot modify the time per when quoting) or static (users can modify the time per when quoting)?

   6. Dollar Rate: What is the cost per hour to do this activity?
