HULL’S MANUFACTURING COST STRUCTURE

Manufacturing Test Strategy Cost Model

The selection of an adequate set of test and inspection techniques to verify the quality and functionality of a product, as well as, the integrity of the manufacturing process can be a complex task. This selection process would normally require a detailed technical assessment on the effectiveness of each test technique, trade-off analysis among alternate test techniques/platforms and an economi...

Determination of Cost Parameters in Total Design for Manufacturing Parts

Design process is a key process in forming of product’s cost and if we notify to total design we will see all of the effective parameters in design activities. Design process is contented design planning, design inputs, design outputs, design review, design verification, design validation and design changes. This approach will help us to identify the cost parameters for managing, controlling an...

The Source Of Cost Advantage In Selected INDIAN Manufacturing Industries

Using Neural Networks with Limited Data to Estimate Manufacturing Cost

Neural networks were used to estimate the cost of jet engine components, specifically shafts and cases. The neural network process was compared with results produced by the current conventional cost estimation software and linear regression methods. Due to the complex nature of the parts and the limited amount of information available, data expansion techniques such as doubling-data and data-cr...

On the Local Structure of Rank-one Convex Hulls

In this note we prove that if K is a compact set of m×n matrices containing an isolated point X with no rank-one connection into the convex hull of K \ {X}, then the rank-one convex hull separates as K = ( K \ {X} )rc ∪ {X}. This is an extension of a result of P. Pedregal, which holds for 2× 2 matrices.
