Welcome to the Powertrain Configurator! This tool is designed to help you calculate the cost of each powertrain component based on your specific needs and projected yearly demand. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand how to use the configurator: Step 1: Enter Your Yearly Demand In the Yearly Demand field at the top, enter the estimated number of powertrain units you plan to produce in a year. This number will be used to calculate volume discounts for each component, ensuring you get the best price for your projected demand. Step 2: Select Component Types For each component (e.g., HMI, I/O Board, Throttle), use the dropdown menu to select the specific type or model you need. When you select a type, an image of the component will appear for easy identification. Step 3: Specify Quantity per Powertrain In the Quantity field next to each component, enter the number of units required per powertrain. For example, if each powertrain needs 2 HMIs, enter “2” in the Quantity field next to HMI. Step 4: Review Price Calculations Based on your yearly demand and the quantity per powertrain, the configurator will calculate and display the following prices: Price per Powertrain: This is the total cost of the component for each powertrain, calculated by finding the optimal price tier based on your yearly demand and chosen quantity. We select the highest quantity tier within your demand that provides the best price per unit for your chosen component. Total Price: This is the cumulative cost for the entire yearly demand of the powertrain component. It’s calculated by multiplying the Price per Powertrain by your Yearly Demand. Example Calculation: Let's say you’ve entered a Yearly Demand of 1000 units and set Quantity to 2 for the HMI component. The configurator will: - Multiply 1000 (Yearly Demand) by 2 (Quantity) to get an intermediate value of 2000 units. - Check the pricing tiers for the HMI and select the best price available for up to 2000 units. - Display the Price per Powertrain by multiplying 2 (Quantity) by the selected unit price. - Calculate the Total Price by multiplying the Price per Powertrain by 1000 (Yearly Demand). Important Notes: Quantity per Powertrain should represent the exact quantity of each component needed in *one* powertrain unit. The configurator automatically adjusts the price based on volume discounts, so your projected yearly demand can help you unlock better prices at higher tiers. By following these steps, you’ll have a clear understanding of the costs associated with each component, tailored to your production needs. This tool aims to simplify the budgeting process and help you make informed decisions for your powertrain components.
