Let's say that there are 1600 components on the assy. Big PCB. You are running a 35,000 per hour placement machine that has avalue of $220,000 dollars. (Chip Shooter) This machine could place a little more than 9 components in onesecond. At 0.0016 per component you would make $0.0144 dollars per secondor 0.864 dollars per minute or $51.84 dollars per hour. If your burden factor (what it cost you per hour to keep yoursdoors open) is at $125.00 this does not seem to be a wise choice to accept thetask offered. Your burden factor, materials cost if any and thru-put rate forthe whole process will set the price on the services.
