Reportlinker Adds Capacitors: Costs To Produce: 2010

NEW YORK, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

[ Capacitors: Costs To Produce: 2010 ]

[ http://www.reportlinker.com/p0208549/Capacitors-Costs-To-Produce-2010.html ]

This market research analysis, published in June of 2010, offers the reader a detailed analysis of the costs to produce capacitors by type, with emphasis upon ceramic, aluminum, tantalum and plastic film type dielectric capacitors.  The study analyzes fixed and variable costs associated with the production of each different type of capacitor; including variable raw material charges, variable labor charges, variable overhead charges and fixed overhead and manufacturing costs.  The study compares and contrasts each capacitor dielectric with respect to cost structure, and focuses on the unique cost relationship between variable raw material charges for each product line and their overall impact on cost of goods sold.  The analysis also looks at the top 14 global manufacturers of capacitors and draws conclusions for the cost structures associated with their respective output of capacitors.  The analysis also reveals best practices with respect to cost savings used by the top producers in Japan, USA, Europe, Korea and China-ISBN #1-893211-00-2, Published June 2010, 194 pages.
