MOTI: Life Cycle Costs of Manufacturing Activities and Technological Innovation

本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、工艺修改、质量、可维护性和处置的成本都包含在这个概念中。通过访问一组包含时间、成本和资源需求的关系数据库文件，将得到一组用于成本驱动活动的标准拓扑成本模型。利用基于作业的成本计算原则和知识库，包括所有交叉影响和链接成本关系，将计算“现状”和“未来”情景下技术创新和设计变更的生命周期成本。包括风险分析、关键成本驱动因素敏感性分析和质量成本。三个工业伙伴将在这项研究中合作。本研究可以使用现实和可接受的直接和间接成本分配以及具有标准化拓扑结构的组件模型来实现统一的生命周期成本模型。研究结果将大大提高制造企业估算设计变更和技术创新成本的能力。

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.
