A molding shop sells machine hours, and the constraint is usually the mold. A press runs a tool for a set number of shots, the tool comes out for maintenance, and the schedule has to absorb the change without missing customer dates. Material lots, scrap and cycle times all affect what the part actually costs.
The system we build puts molds, machines and material on the same planning view. Maintenance triggers from shot count, setups and scrap are logged at the press, and a part cost is calculated from your own figures rather than a guess at month end.
