• Develop and maintain machine hour rates by work center (CNC lathes, mills, hobbing, shaping, gear grinding) including depreciation, tooling, and overhead
• Support estimating/quoting with cost data on setup times, run times, material yield, and outside service costs; perform quote vs. actual analysis to improve future quoting accuracy
• Track and analyze setup vs. run time by job and machine; identify low-margin part numbers and customers
• Reconcile WIP by job and perform monthly WIP valuation, including percent-complete assessment on long-running jobs
• Monitor scrap, rework, and first-pass yield by job, machine, and operator; quantify cost impact
• Track perishable tooling costs (inserts, hobs, cutters, grinding wheels) and allocate to jobs/work centers
• Cost and reconcile raw material (bar stock, forgings, castings)
• Analyze capital requests for new machines (ROI, payback, capacity impact on machine rates)
