cost reduction-life cycle costing
DESCRIPTION
describes the need and importance of life cycle costing in cost reductionTRANSCRIPT
Life Cycle CostingLife Cycle Costing
Assessment of the costs of a good or service over its entire life cycle.
Life Cycle Costing-definition
Product Life Cycle
R & D Design Manufacturing Marketing & Distribution
Customer Service
Upstream Costs(before Manufacturing)
Downstream Costs( After Manufacturing)

The Importance Of DesignImportance Of Design
Reduced Time to Market
In a competitive world speed of development &speed ofDelivery are critical. Priority must be to reduce time of the product to market
The Importance Of DesignImportance Of Design
Reduced Expected Service Cost
Through Careful, simple design and use of modular,Interchangeable components, the expected serviceCosts can be greatly reduced
The Importance Of DesignImportance Of Design
Improved Ease of Manufacture
To reduce production costs and speed the ProductionThe design must be easy to manufacture
The Importance Of DesignImportance Of Design
Process Planning & Design
The plan for the manufacturing process should be
Flexible, Allows fast setups and product Change over, using agile manufacturing concepts,Computers integrated manufacturing, Computer Assisted design and Concurrent Engineering .
Four Design Methods
1 Basic Engineering
2 Prototyping
3 Tem plating
4 Concurrent Engineering
Four Design Methods
1 Basic Engineering
Basic engineering is the method in whichproduct designers work independentlyfrom marketing and manufacturing todevelop a design from specific plansand specifications
Four Design Methods
2 Prototyping
Protyping is a method in which functionalModels of the product are developed andTested by engineers and trial customers
Four Design Methods
3 Templating
Templating is a method in which an Existing Product is scaled up or down to fit the specifications of the desired new product
Four Design Methods
4 Concurrent Engineering
Concurrent Engineering is an important method that integrates product design with manufacturing and marketingthroughout the product life cycle
Characteristics of the 4 design methods
Design Method Design Speed Design Cost DownStream Costs
Basic Engineering Fast Desired Complexity, Low High –non integration of Mkg-Prod
Protyping Slow Significant Cost Can reflect significant reduction
Templating Fast Modest Unknown-can be costly
ConcurrentEngineering Continuous Significant-design Can result in cost Reduction ongoing process

Life Cycle Costing for Software Solutions SS-2 is more profitable
1 Total income of SS-1 is 2,60,000 of SS-2 is 4,95,000
2 Ratio of R&D, Selling & Service Cost to sales in case of
SS-1 is 67% (30,00,000/45,00,000) in case of SS-2 it is 40% (10,00,000/25,00,000)
Management can use this breakdown of costs throughout the product’s life cycle
