Abstract

As already mentioned several times, scaled pricing is used to allow different volumes for different call-offs. This is required as the machine setup costs need to be amortised over the production volume. To illustrate, here is an example where the call-off volume is expected to be 75 k pcs. To allow more flexibility to the material planner, additional prices for 50 and 100 k pcs have been agreed to between the buyer and the supplier. The supplier has defined an absolute minimum order quantity of 10 k pcs for which a fairly high price has also been agreed to.
