Costimator Standards Handbook


Introduction
This manual contains more than 800 machine and piece
handling standards, including standards for gaging and material
handling elements. This represents more than 500 additional
standards than the prior version.
These are averaged standards with no efficiency ratings applied.
They represent a compilation of some of the collected standards
in use today by Costimator users.
There are three sections in this manual. The first section lists
the time elements in hours, minutes and seconds. The second
explains the derivation of each standard and what is contained in
it. The third section is a listing of compiled standards for 60
generic machine groups.

Costimator Standards Handbook

Engineering Standards
The standard times shown for Engineering are approximate percentages commonly used
in the metalworking industry for estimating engineering hours.
Numerical Control Programming
Following are the approximate time values it will take to computer assist program versus
manufacturing times. Multiply by 3 for manual programming.
CNC Lathe
Machining Center
Sheet metal fabricators

20-60 minutes or
4-40 hours
or
20-60 minutes or

10 minutes/1 minute of machining


30 minutes/1 minute of machining
3 minutes/1 minute of machining

Tool Design
For every hour of tool design time to create a fixture, drill jig, etc., it has been
approximated that the manufacturing time and cost will be 2 1/2 times greater.
