Hi Greg -
In my consulting work, I use CostCoach which does everything you describe.  I
use it to estimate the true cost of production as it takes into account
equipment depreciation, supply and component cost, and more.  I also use it
for scenarios - what if we replaced the old chip shooter with a new piece of
equipment, what will the real return on investment be, and things like that.
I admit I have a bias as I was involved in its development.  It takes a
little learning but it is economically priced.  You can find it (and actually
order it on-line) at www.CostCoach.com
