9526007菲利普斯这项研究的目标是开发可用于商业和国防制造活动的成本模型，以评估和评估技术创新和/或设计变更对产品生命周期的成本影响。设计成本、工艺修改成本、质量成本、可维护性成本和处理成本都包含在这个概念中。通过访问一组包含时间、成本和资源要求的关系数据库文件，将推导出成本动因活动的一套标准的拓扑成本模型。利用以活动为基础的成本计算原则和包括所有交叉影响和链接成本关系的知识库，将计算“现有”和“未来”方案的技术创新和设计变更的生命周期成本。将包括风险分析、关键成本动因的敏感度分析和质量成本。三个行业合作伙伴将在这项研究中合作。这项研究可能会使用实际和可接受的直接和间接成本分配以及具有标准化拓扑的组件模型来实现统一的生命周期成本模型。这一结果将促使制造企业估算设计变更和技术创新的成本的能力大幅提高。

9526007 Phillips The goal of this research is to develop cost models that can be used in both commercial and defense manufacturing activities to assess and evaluate the cost impact of technological innovation and/or design changes on the product life cycle. The cost of design, process modification, quality, maintainability, and disposal are included in this concept. A standard set of topological cost models for cost-driver activities will be derived accessing a set of relational data base files containing time, cost, and resource requirements. Utilizing the principles of activity based costing and a knowledge base including all cross-impact and linking cost relationships, a life cycle cost for technological innovation and design changes for both "as-is" and "to-be" scenarios will be calculated. Risk analysis, sensitivity analysis of key cost drivers, and the cost of quality will be included. Three industrial partners will collaborate in this research. This research may effect a uniform life cycle cost model using a realistic and acceptable allocation of both direct and indirect costs and component models with standardized topology. The results would provoke a dramatic improvement in the ability of manufacturing firms to estimate the cost of design changes and technological innovation.
