Annual Production Quantity and Basic Processing Cost (Pc). Quantity Processing Cost - Overview. In order to represent the basic processing cost of an ideal design for a particular process, it is necessary to be clear upon which factors it depends. The factors are :-. Equipment costs including installation. Operating costs (labour, No of working shifts supervison and overheads). These variables are taken into account to calculate the basic processing cost P. Using the following formula:-. Alpha;T β/N.

Part Cost Estimating Tool. Overview of Manufacturing Analysis and Cost Estimating. In order to attain the required cost and quality goals or targets for products it is necessary for design teams to conduct a number of interrelated product assessment activities. Failure to get the trade-off between the commercial and technical factors leads to late and costly engineering changes, coping with inapropriate manufacturing processes or commercial failure. A number of researchers have set out to discover what c...

Calculatiing Part Volume
http://mca.valuedrivendesign.co.uk//help/Volume.aspx
Calculating Part Volume (V) or Material Weight. The material volume ( V. Includes the material that is required to manufacture the component. The cost estimating tool takes into account the waste coefficient ( W. According to the process and the shape complexity. The original Process Selection tool had a volume calculator. However, with the advent of 3D CAD solid modelling tools this is not needed as the volume could be read directly from the CAD model of the part being analysed.

Shape and Part Complexity for Cost Estimating
http://mca.valuedrivendesign.co.uk/help/shape.aspx
Shape and Part Complexity ( C. The shape complexity index ( C. Used in this cost estimating system is obtained by using a very simple feature based classification system which enables the important design and manufacturing issues to be taken into account. Firstly, the user needs to determine the shape category from these three super classes. Part envelope is largely a solid of revolution. Part envelope is largely a prismatic solid. Flat or thin wall section component. Select shape for more details.

Product Cost Reduction using part classification. Product Cost Reduction Using Part Classification. Classification - Benefits Overview. One of the most satisfying and cost effective programmes that a chief executive can approve is part variety reduction. With the pressure to get new products to market many companies are overlooking one of the most basic ways to reduce product costs. However lack of attention to this fundamental area can have a huge cost knock-on effect in manufacturing and the supply base.

Impact of material thickness on part cost estimating
http://mca.valuedrivendesign.co.uk/help/Section.aspx
Material Section Coefficient (C. Most processes have a mimimum material capablity before secondary proceses are required to produce the design thickness. The section coefficient ( C. Takes that into account and applies an on-cost factor for that situation according to the process. For a discussion of minimum material section and its impact on component cost see the book book "Process Selection from Design To Manufacture - 2. Edition" by Swift and Booker - ISBN: 0-7506-5437-6.

Process Selection from Design to Manufacture
http://mca.valuedrivendesign.co.uk/help/Processes.aspx
The major manufacturing processes that represent the main shape producing processes are the casting, forming and material removal processes. The individual processes modeled in this tool are shown in the lists below. In the early stages of design we are concerned with finding a list of possible process candidates to make a particular component. The general selection strategy is shown below:-. Obtain an estimate of the projected annual production quantity. Select possible candidate processes.
