Cost and Output Simulation
For example, the area of your work area 8.000 m³
If using PC100, then the calculation:
- 8.000 m³ : 80 m³/hour = 100 working hours
- 100 (working hours) x Rp 200.000 (Estimated rental price per hour) = Rp 20.000.000
Whereas if calculated using PC200:
- 8.000 m³ : 160 m³/hour = 50 working hours
- 50 (working hours) x Rp 350.000 (Estimated rental price per hour) = Rp 17.500.000
So, although the rental price of PC200 is relatively more expensive, but the total cost efficiency is better than PC100 in this case.
But it's worth noting, Estimated figures for productivity and working hours may change depending on the number of employees:
- Soil type (hard or soft)
- Distance to dispose or move material
- Heavy equipment operator skills
- Unexpected conditions in the field
But in general, this pattern is almost always the same ie the larger the project volume, it will be more profitable to use the PC200 excavator.
