Definition

The complexity level indicates how complex the overhead's calculation is. For all the simple overheads (fixed amount overhead, step rate overhead, percentage overhead, and statistical overhead), they have the complexity level of 0. This is because there is no other overheads involved in their calculation.

However, by definition, complex overhead has at least 1 simple overhead embeded in the calculation. Therefore, the lowest complexity level for complex overhead is 1. Since it is possible to embed a complex overhead inside another complex overhead, the complexity level will be added up.

The formula to calculate the complexity level is as follows:

1. All Simple Overheads' (Fixed Amount Overhead, Step Rate Overhead, Percentage Overhead, Statistical Overhead) complexity is 0.

2. Complex Overhead's complexity = highest complexity level of any overhead embeded + 1

For example:

Overhead 1 is a simple overhead (eg. step rate overhead).

Overhead 2 = Overhead 1 * 2

Overhead 3 = Overhead 2 * Overhead 1

Then,

Complexity level of Overhead 1 = 0.

Complexity level of Overhead 2 = Complexity level of Overhead 1 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1.

Complexity level of Overhead 3 = Complexity level of Overhead 2 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.

In Overhead Organizer, the complexity of the overhead is restricted to 9 for the performance purpose.
