Machining economics encompasses a range of models and scenarios aimed at enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of machining processes. It involves optimizing the overall outcome of a machining process. At a micro-technological level, this means maximizing tool life, increasing the number of workpieces produced per cutting edge, adhering to pre-defined cycle times, minimizing tooling costs,…
The Moller Skycar M400 is a flying car known as a personal air vehicle (PAV) that is expected to be FAA-certified by December 31, 2011. The cost is $985,000, and a $100,000 deposit will hold one of the first 100 “cars.” Assume a buyer pays the $885,000 balance 3 years after making the $100,000 deposit….
Costs associated with the manufacture of miniature high-sensitivity piezoresistive pressure transducers are $73,000 per year. A clever industrial engineer found that by spending $16,000 now to reconfigure the production line and reprogram two of the robotic arms, the cost will go down to $58,000 next year and $52,000 in years 2 through 5. Using an…
