Estimate the gross gold metal needed to perform a jewellery repair after accounting for the required repair addition, metal purity and an allowance for process loss.
The repair addition is first multiplied by the number of jobs. The model then adjusts the required starting metal for the specified process loss.
Actual repair work can involve trimming, filing, soldering, polishing and other operations. A small material allowance can therefore be useful when planning stock.
The quantity of metal needed for a repair is not the same thing as the customer's charge. Labour, skill, design complexity and commercial policies are separate considerations.
Yes. Enter the number of comparable repairs.
No. It only determines the fine-gold amount represented by the entered repair metal.
Yes, if you want a theoretical no-loss material requirement.
