OPEX: Detailed Manufacturing Expenses and Production Cost Analysis

Operating expenses (OPEX) are the ongoing production costs essential for uninterrupted manufacturing of brass tubes, playing a key role in analysing production costs and calculating the cost per metric ton (USD/MT).

• Raw material costs:
  • Brass Metal: The largest raw material expense. Its cost is influenced by global copper and zinc prices. Strategic industrial procurement is vital to managing market price fluctuation.
• Utility costs:
  • Electricity: The largest operating expense, especially for melting, casting, and rolling. It directly impacts operational cash flow.
  • Natural Gas/Fuel: For furnaces in both primary and secondary production.
  • Water: For cooling and process use.
• Labour costs:
  • Salaries, wages, and benefits for skilled operators, engineers, and maintenance staff. 
• Maintenance and repairs:
  • Routine preventative maintenance programs, unscheduled repairs, and replacement of equipment like furnace linings and rolling mills.
• Waste management and environmental compliance:
  • Costs associated with treating slag and other waste, and managing emissions from smelting and melting. Stringent environmental regulations are crucial.
• Depreciation and amortisation:
  • Non-cash expenses account for the wear and tear of the total capital expenditure (CAPEX) assets over their useful life. These are important for financial reporting and break-even point analysis.
• Indirect operating costs:
  • Insurance premiums, property taxes, and expenses for research and development aimed at improving production efficiency metrics or exploring new cost structure optimisation strategies.

Brass Tubes Industrial Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for brass tubes manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial brass tubes manufacturing. The process outlines a multi-stage approach from raw materials to a finished product.

• Production from Extrusion:  Brass seamless tubes are made by extruding brass metal to ensure no welded sections, resulting in a strong, uniform product. The welded tubes are produced by roll-forming and welding strips, making them more cost-effective and available in longer lengths. Cold-drawn tubes use pre-annealed brass alloy, rolled at low temperatures to increase strength, while electropolished tubes receive a finishing process to improve surface quality and corrosion resistance.
