Manufacturing cost is the amount of money to be paid to receive the part at the customer. The manufacturing cost includes parts, process cost, logistical uplift, test, profit, packaging, transport, ….
Predictive Industrialization Analysis
Cost is determined by the parts, production processes, uplifts, supply chains, test, packaging, transport and …. Predictive Industrialization Analysis visualize the cost build up during the design phase. Cost overruns can come from design, part cost, supplier selection, profits, supply chain selection, uplifts, manufacturing time, process manufacturing quality and more. Design determines the part. materials, manufacturing and assembly process cost. Supplier selection the capability to fulfill the requirements but also the cost. Supply chain the missing capabilities but also uplifts. Manufacturing time is determined by the supplier selection. Manufacturing failures will result in rework and scrap cost contributing to the cost increase. Manufacturing failures which slipped through the test will also contribute to the operational cost by detecting the failure, replacing the part and bring the product in a working condition again at the customer. Predictive Industrialization Analysis gives those insights already during the design phase.
Mitigation Industrialization
Mitigation must be done on quantitative data obtained during the predictive Industrialization Analysis. Mitigation can be a design change, process improvement or test.
