How the production cost of Sovelmash electric motors is formed
Electric motor production is a complex process, where every detail and operation affects the final cost. Let's analyze the cost structure of the key components—the stator and rotor—and explore ways to optimize it.
Main costs for manufacturing one set (stator + rotor) at DETB "Sovelmash":
• materials (electrical steel) – 212.2 rubles (excluding VAT),
• equipment depreciation – 8.55 rubles (excluding VAT),
• stamper's salary including taxes – 5.65 rubles (excluding VAT),
• electricity – 3.7 rubles (excluding VAT).
The main cost factor is the price of steel.
Even if the stamper's salary is relatively high (120,000 rubles), doubling it would hardly affect the cost of parts. However, reducing the steel price by sourcing it from China can lower material costs to 141.5 rubles, resulting in significant savings!
These figures are approximate and may vary due to fluctuations in tariffs, currency exchange rates, and production volumes.
Additional ways to reduce costs:
• Optimize steel procurement. Ordering larger batches (for example, a full container) reduces transportation expenses.
• Employ efficient technologies. Sovelmash strives to implement optimal methods that help achieve lower production costs.
Conclusion
Reducing motor production costs is primarily achievable through material savings rather than cutting salaries or electricity expenses. Sovelmash is actively optimizing logistics and procurement processes to enhance production efficiency, thereby increasing future profits for DETB and dividends for investors.
