Units of measurement play a central role in pricing.
Not all products are conceptualized or passed on in the same unit. While agricultural production often works with weight (kg), further processing may use volume (liters) or unit quantities.
These differences must be cleanly interconnected.
This category describes the conversion between different units of measurement, particularly between:
The focus here is not on losses but on an accurate translation between different physical quantities.
A product may be produced in one unit and passed on in another.
Typical examples include:
To keep prices transparent, these levels must be cleanly interconnected.
This conversion depends on, among other things:
Density is the central factor that determines the relationship between weight and volume.
Without a clean conversion, misunderstandings quickly arise:
This category ensures that:
In the TEIKEI context, this technical level is also part of price transparency.
It is not just about making contributions visible but also about clearly presenting the physical foundations of pricing.
This makes it evident that pricing is not only an economic but also a factually comprehensible basis.
This category is closely linked to:
It forms the basis for ensuring that later price components can build on each other correctly.
