0930-10.00 |
Introduction to Cost Modeling General overview of Cost Modeling as a tool for assisting with Strategic Decision Making |
|
10.00-10.45 |
Product Design/Materials Selection Economic comparisons of alternate body designs and materials choices. Consideration of steel, aluminum and polymer composites as well as innovative body architextures. |
|
10.45-11.15 |
Break |
|
11.15-12.00 |
Materials Target Pricing Determination of materials prices from a technological standpoint. Considers technological and market driven limits to price reductions in materials such as aluminum and magnesium. |
|
12.00-12.45 |
Cost Modeling and Productivity Benchmarking Use of a single cost-based metric to capture the effects of numerous productivity/performance benchmarks. Approach will be demonstrated through the use of IMVP global press shop data. |
|
12.45-14.15 |
Lunch |
|
14.15-15.00 |
Industrial Competitiveness (NOTE: Because of the
preliminary nature of the materials presented in this talk [and because very little
was actually presented (it was integrated into the Benchmarking talk above)], this
talk will not be made available here at this time) Analysis of the competitive position of production strategies under different operating conditions. Demonstration of methodology through a study of factors affecting the cost competitivity of independent Portuguese stampers and injection molders. |
|
15.00-15.45 |
Tying Cost to Environmental Analysis: Making LCA Useful Consideration of the total lifecycle costs and emissions as well as the need to track both in a consistent fasion. |
