Lean Module Costing

Posted on by DanWard

How do you use activities to correctly identify labor cost in AX Lean Module. Example: Simple machined part, machine time is 200 seconds and that 200 seconds is needed to block out the appropriate time in the schedule, labor per part is 30 seconds. Currently I have been told that I must use the 200 seconds for costing (200 sec x Labor Rate ($10/hr) = .55 cents) because that is the way the lean module works. I think this is incorrect and I should only be costing the true labor of 30 seconds - 30*10/3600=.0833, where in the setup do I identify the 30 seconds of actual labor but leave the 200 seconds machine time for scheduling? Do I have to add a second activity for the true labor and mark it as the only value add activity? Any help would be appreciated.

RE: AX 2012 Lean Module Costing

Hi Dan,

Manufacturing is outside my area of expertise, but I'm wondering if our documentation on this would be helpful:

docs.microsoft.com/.../about-lean-manufacturing

Otherwise, just searching "AX 2012 Lean Module Costing" on the web brought up a number of sites with learning on the topic.

I hope that helps!
