COST & BUDGET MANAGEMENT
• Recurring production cost = production
labor + direct materials + process costs
+overheads + outside processing

• Non-recurring costs = Development Cost
+ Tooling

• Product costs = Recurring production cost
+ Allocated non-recurring costs

• Product price (acquisition cost) = Product
cost + Selling, General & Admin cost +
Warranty Costs + Profits

• Life Cycle Costs = Acquisition Costs +
Other related Capital Costs + Training
Costs + Operating Costs + Support Costs +
Disposal Costs
DESIGN TO COST
Understanding customer
affordability or competitive
pricing requirement
Establish and allocation of target
costs
Commitment by development
personnel
Stability & management of
requirements
Cost drivers, product
specifications & Cost reduction
Product cost models &
life cycle cost models to
project costs
Active cost consideration
as a decision parameter
Concept & design
alternatives
Use of value & functional
analysis & its derivatives
Application of design &
meaningful cost
accounting systems
TARGET COSTING
A cost management tool for reducing the overall cost of a product over its entire
life cycle with the help of production, engineering, research and design.
A target cost is the maximum amount of cost that can be incurred on a product
and with it the firm can still earn the required profit margin from that product at a
particular selling price.
COST MODELS & COST DATA
A product cost model or life cycle cost provides an objective basis for evaluating
design alternatives from a very early stage in the development cycle.
The product cost model is used to project and accumulate product costs to use as
a factor in evaluating design alternatives and to refine the design to meet cost targets.
PROJECT EXECUTION (THE 3
RD
PHASE)
We build the physical project deliverables and present them to the client
for signoff. It typically consumes the most energy and resources.
