You can specify the costs per function executions for functions in order to calculate the function execution related costs for your process and include them in the evaluations. Simulation considers only the attributes for the average costs. Minimum and maximum costs are ignored.
Procedure
Right-click the function for which you want to define the costs.
Click Attributes.
In the tree view, click Costs.
Select the cost category you want to specify, for example, Material costs.
Specify the average value of the attributes, for example, Avg. material costs.
Click Close.
In the Save object dialog, click Yes.
The costs for the function are saved. Based on these attributes, the function execution related costs will be calculated during the next simulation run.
Then activate the relevant statistics to calculate the expenses for the simulated process. You can compare the costs stated in the generated evaluations with your budget, for example.
