Abstract Given the design of a sheet metal component that is to be produced by pressworking, there can be more than one design for the die to produce that component. It will be desirable if a mechanism exists to identify the better of the design alternatives. A method referred to as Die Producibility Evaluation Method (DPEM) is presented in this paper to evaluate the design of a given pressworking die. The method involves identification and classification of the parameters involved in the design and operation of the pressworking die. These parameters are categorized as design cost factors and process cost factors. For a given die design, the design and process cost factors are identified and the results are tabulated in the DPEM table. In order to illustrate the method, a particular sheet metal component is chosen. A set of dies required to produce this component is then designed by a novice designer. This design is referred to as the initial design. The Die Producibility Evaluation Method is applied to the initial design, the DPEM table is updated, and an improved design is identified based on the evaluations recorded in the DPEM table. In order to provide a measure of quality, a second design is carried out under the guidance of an expert designer and is referred to as the reference design. It is shown that the improved design closely matches the reference design, thus illustrating the level of performance and applicability of the Die Producibility Evaluation Method.

The Cost

The aim of this study was to assess the costs and financial consequences of epidemiological changes in hypertension in México. The cost evaluation method to estimate costs was based on instrumentation techniques. To estimate the epidemiological changes and expected cases of hypertension in 2010-2012, three probabilistic models were constructed according to the Box-Jenkins technique. Comparing the economic impact, from 2010 to 2012 there will be a 24% increase in financial requirements (p < 0.05). The total cost of hypertension in 2011 will be US$ 5,733,350,291, including US$ 2,718,280,941 in direct costs and US$ 3,015,069,350 in indirect costs. If the risk factors and various healthcare models remain unaltered in the institutions analyzed here, the financial consequences will have a major impact on users' pockets, followed by social security providers and public healthcare providers. The authors suggest a revision in the planning, organization, and allocation of resources, particularly programs for health promotion and prevention of hypertension.

Market Evaluation

Different methods for evaluating property have gained greater importance in agriculture since the change of regime. The open market evaluation could be the best method if the agricultural property had significant turnover, which could serve as a reliable comparison. However, there is no notable turnover, and selling is scarce. And, when there is some, the sales contracts are not available. On the other hand, the open market evaluation is almost the only one assessing method in Western Europe and in the United States. The matrix comparing market data in my methodological development helps to estimate the effects of the elements which determinate real estate value of farms.Another method for evaluating farm property is the discounted future earnings. Enterprises are able to produce series of income continuously during their working periods, which can be considered as perpetuity. This is the base of the discounted future earning evaluation. Determination of income generating capacity is not an easy task. It is also difficult to choose the proper rate of capitalization. If this rate is higher than the usual level, the property will be underestimated. If it is lower, the property will be overrated. According to my calculations the profitability of certain farms of animal breeding may be evaluated under different operating conditions. Furthermore, the capitalisation interest rate may be determined in an objective way.The problem of applying the depreciated replacement cost evaluation method is that there are big deviations among investment costs in tenders of contractors; moreover the estimations of special depreciation forms are rather subjective. One of the process’s greatest difficulties for reliability is that it is doubtful whether depreciated replacement cost could reach the real market value. The utilisation of this method may be spread further in the future by standardising average gross replacement cost of building as well as by measuring depreciation more objectively.

Cost Of Construction

In view of the study on the quality cost prediction of construction enterprises, this paper established a relatively good index system of quality cost projections. The quality cost of construction enterprise is evaluated by introducing a new mathematical model —Uncertaintymethod. As a new Uncertainty information processing method, Unascertained overcomes the shortcomings of fuzzy evaluation method does not meet the measurement criteria.
