Bought and outsourced
Own work

Build-up: X-ray inspection of the weldsOutsourced, no price entered. An open price never counts as zero.

Example estimate

Made parts with their own estimate, bought parts and outsourced steps as their own lines, and your assembly work with hours and rate.

  • Every part once

    The roll-up counts every part exactly once.

  • Outsourced work included

    Anodising as its own line, at your supplier’s rate.

  • Assembly on its own line

    Your assembly hours and rate in the same cost.

What decides the price of a module.

  1. Make or buy.

    Decided again for every part and every order: your own capacity, the lead time and the supplier’s price.

  2. Assembly and test.

    Hours that only exist once the parts come together, and that you know better than anyone.

  3. Handling and mark-up.

    Bought parts take handling and stock, and often a mark-up on what you pass through.

One model under estimating and the shop floor.

Underneath Blake sits Subduxion’s manufacturing world model: how a part, its requirements, your machines and your team’s decisions fit together. The next steps build on it.

  • Tools, holders and fixtures go into the same model.
  • Next: every setup checked before the machine runs.
  • Engineering, estimating and production then work from one model.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine own work, bought parts and outsourced work in one cost without counting anything twice?

Yes. Made parts keep their own estimate, bought parts and outsourced steps are lines of their own, and your assembly work is a line with hours and rate. The roll-up counts every part once.

Can I import a bill of materials?

You put the parts of the module in one request, each with model and drawing. Bought parts are priced from your own library or stay open until you fill them in. Next: importing a BOM directly.

Every part of the module in one cost.

In the demo we show how made parts, bought parts and your own work come together into one cost in Blake.
