Weightings Weightings –– same for both versionssame for both versions
Workload can be captured for
each test
Weightings can be
allocated to each test

Standard Standard -- Non Non Pay DirectPay Direct
Use of consumables
per test is calculated by
manually inserting formulae
Advanced Advanced –– Non Pay DirectNon Pay Direct
The amount of testing that
each consumable is used for is automatically automatically
calculated
Individual components
can be allocated to
each specific test by simply inserting “yes”
into relevant cells
Allocation of consumables
per test is much more
accurate
Non Pay Non Non Pay Non Direct Direct –– same for both versionssame for both versions
Any other non pay item can be entered where there is a cost involved and it has not been
allocated to any specific tests
Annual spend for each non pay item can be entered
The contribution for each item
is spread across all
tests performed
Non Pay Non Direct Non Pay Non Direct –– same for both versionssame for both versionsThe annual cost
of all non pay non direct items is calculated and
can be reconciled with
budgets
The total contribution of all non pay non direct items is calculated and applied to all
tests
Standard Standard -- Calibrators Calibrators etcetcSome
consumables used on major analysers can be entered and
spread across a range of tests processed on
those analysers
The annual cost of
calibrators etc is spread
across each range of tests
Standard Standard -- Calibrators Calibrators etcetc
The range of
Calibrators, controls etc
are listed several times depending on the number of
tests they process
The range of tests is entered
for every calibrator, control etc
Advanced Advanced –– All calibrators etc are entered in All calibrators etc are entered in Non Pay DirectNon Pay Direct
Calibrators, controls etc
are entered in to the same spreadsheet
as all consumables consumables meaning one
less worksheet to
build
Standard Standard -- Capital Capital equipmentequipmentItems of
equipment are listed several
times depending on the number of
tests they process
The range of tests is entered for every item of
equipment
Advanced Advanced –– Capital and serviceCapital and service
Capital and service is
calculated in the same
worksheet meaning one meaning one
less worksheet to
build
Individual equipment can be allocated to each specific test by simply inserting “yes”
into relevant cells
Allocation of capital and
service costs per test is
much more accurate
Standard Standard -- Equipment Equipment serviceserviceThe annual
cost of equipment servicing is
spread across each range of
tests
The range of tests is entered for each item of
equipment
Analysis Analysis –– same for both versionssame for both versions
Workload
An analysis table provides instant data on
various indicators such as
average test costs
Workload indicators
analyse the data in the entire
costing model to illustrate
efficiency and productivity
RLK Associates can set up graphs to automatically plot regular data that can be used to monitor key performance criteria. We also produce QIPP scorecards and dashboards based on these data
Analysis Analysis –– same for both versionssame for both versionsAn analysis
table provides instant data on
various indicators such as
average test costs
Productivity levels will
change when data in the worksheet changes
Scenarios can be created by changing data in the worksheet to study the affects on test prices, productivity levels etc. For example, if the skill mix is adjusted in the pay worksheets the change to the test prices can be analysed to look for a more economical way of providing the service
