Primarily cost calculations are based on online measurements. If online measurements are unavailable (or unreliable) the calculations can be based on calculated tags. For example pulp consumptions can be calculated based on machine speed, width, moisture, etc. If there is no reliable method to measure consumptions then costs can be added based on recipe standard consumptions. Fixed (machine) costs can be included and are then based on the production time. Cost Calculations
