Competitive Nature

Due to the highly competitive nature of businesses today, cost estimation forms an important strategic process in making decisions about design and development of new products. It is advantageous to be able to estimate the product costs early in the product development cycle. In this paper, products' cost structure based on the feature is proposed by analyzing product cost, and the calculation methods of manufacturing cost is introduced. By means of parametric designing capability, functional frame of cost estimation system is built on the basis of the secondary development technique of SolidWorks. Taking certain type of hydraulic support as an example, the software prototype of cost estimation is developed. The result of cost estimation accords with actual product cost prove the feasibility of cost estimation method based on the secondary development of SolidWorks.

Similar Cost

In order to be cost competitive in the consumer electronics industry, it is needed to estimate product costs earlier in the design phase. In this study, we reviewed quality and quantity cost estimation techniques to develop a cost estimation system. The qualitative cost estimation technique is used to store expert's knowledge in the form of rules or a decision tree, and quantitative cost estimation techniques is used to extract a similar cost basis based on historical cost data of products. Also, we developed a cost comparison system using these two methods.

Knowledge Based

This research paper presents a prototype object-oriented and rule-based system for product cost modelling and design for automation at an early design stage. The developed system comprises a computer aided design (CAD) solid modelling system, a material selection module, a knowledge-based system (KBS), a process optimization module, a design for assembly module, a cost estimation module and a user interface. The system development process has passed through four major steps: constructing the knowledge-based and process optimization system; developing a design for assembly module; integrating the KBS with both a material selection database and the CAD system; developing and implementing a fuzzy logic approach to generate reliable estimation of cost and to handle the uncertainty in the cost estimation model that cannot be addressed by traditional analytical methods. Two manufacturing processes, namely machining and injection moulding processes, were considered in the developed system. The main function of the system, besides estimating the product cost, is to generate initial process planning, including the generation and selection of machining processes, their sequence and their machining parameters, and to recommend the most economical assembly technique for a product and provide design improvement suggestions based on a design feasibility technique. In addition, a feature-by-feature cost estimation report is generated using the proposed system to highlight the features of high manufacturing cost. Two case studies were used to validate the developed system.

During development process of the static mixer, design and manufacture of the nozzle is key and difficult. In satisfying product quality requirements, try to reduce the manufacturing cost, and shorten development cycle, are main goal of the product developers. This article carried out practical manufacturing technology research though the manufacturing processing design, machining method selection, quality testing, cost analysis of special nozzle, and so on. The results show that the manufacturing process and machining methods are the crucial factors influencing the product manufacturing costs, and reasonably planning manufacturing process, carefully selecting machining method is an important means of reducing manufacturing cost and shorten development cycle.

Blockchain is a novel distributed ledger technology. Through its features and smart contract capabilities, a wide range of application areas opened up for blockchain-based innovation [5]. In order to analyse how concrete blockchain systems as well as blockchain applications are used, data must be extracted from these systems. Due to various complexities inherent in blockchain, the question how to interpret such data is non-trivial. Such interpretation should often be shared among parties, e.g., if they collaborate via a blockchain. To this end, we devised an approach codify the interpretation of blockchain data, to extract data from blockchains accordingly, and to output it in suitable formats [1, 2]. This work will be the main topic of the keynote. In addition, application developers and users of blockchain applications may want to estimate the cost of using or operating a blockchain application. In the keynote, I will also discuss our cost estimation method [3, 4]. This method was designed for the Ethereum blockchain platform, where cost also relates to transaction complexity, and therefore also to system throughput.
