Frost-free refrigerators can defrost automatically, bringing an ultimate user experience. Of course, the price cost is also very high. A good estimated cost can greatly reduce expenses and increase more profits. The procurement and marketing department will collect the ex-factory prices of major manufacturers and then combine various gross profit calculations. Not everything can be calculated before the transaction is completed, and there are also implied risks. Therefore, an estimate needs to be made.
Generally, the cost estimation of frost-free refrigerators can be from the refrigeration system, insulation system, electronic control system, additional costs, production costs and indirect costs. In addition to the premium of brand components, the market raw material prices will also change, resulting in errors in cost estimation.
The cost of the refrigeration system accounts for 25%-35%. Since the core of a frost-free refrigerator is the compressor, the cost accounts for 40%-50%. According to different energy consumption, the price is also different. The price of first-class energy consumption increases by 10%-20%.
Of course, the higher the price of the condenser or evaporator using copper pipes, generally aluminum pipes are used. Copper pipes can be used for specific customization. We all know that copper has high corrosion resistance and durability. If it is for ordinary consumer groups, using aluminum pipes is cost-effective.
In addition, the refrigerant is also an indispensable part of the cost. A single R600a or R134a also has a lot of costs. If it is a batch customization, a lot of expenses are also needed in the middle.
From the perspective of the insulation system, the main price cost is in the shell and inner tank. The outer frame is made of cold-rolled steel, and the inner tank is made of ABS/PS plastic. Plus painting and other processes are also a lot of expenses. If the mainstream polyurethane foam (15%-20% cost) is included, the unit price will also increase.
After calculating the cost of the frost-free refrigerator itself, attention should also be paid to additional costs and production costs. For technologies such as sterilization, energy saving, and fresh-keeping, various expenses such as labor assembly costs, quality inspection costs, certification costs, research and development, transportation, and marketing during production account for 50%.
What is the basis for cost estimation of frost-free refrigerators?
Procurers ordering frost-free refrigerators will take market conditions and research data as the main basis, and finally draw conclusions through understanding major manufacturers and visiting offline store markets.
What are the precautions for cost estimation?
(1) Pay attention to the price fluctuations of market raw materials, and evaluate the impact of fluctuations in the market range in advance to reduce unnecessary expenses.
(2) A large amount of data is needed to draw conclusions. Unilateral data can’t reflect much. The more data there is, the more accurate the analysis result.
FAQ about cost estimation of frost-free refrigerators:
Q: How to improve the efficiency of cost estimation?
A: You can combine mainstream software tools. Commonly used ones are office and AI software. Using AI can greatly improve efficiency. Using programs such as python can automate processing and obtain more information sources.
Q: Does cost estimation require professional knowledge?
A: Having professional theoretical knowledge is very important. Understanding the basic processes and analysis methods will make the evaluated results more accurate. Professional knowledge needs to be learned. Of course, if you don’t have professional knowledge, you can use tools to achieve estimation.
Q: How to improve the accuracy of estimation?
A: Conduct market research work, collect more real and effective data, and use scientific data analysis methods to reduce errors.
