  • Cost engineering - tools for achieving competitive advantage
    Filipan Kraljič, Biserka
    Conditions on the tool market and globalisation have placed pressure on tool makers to introduce faster and in-depth changes both in terms of their competitiveness on the market as well as in terms ... of approach and methods in work processes, all with the aim of reducing the costs and ensuring long-term viability especially in the chain of automotive industries. The main source of cost reduction is efficient work process and optimum degree of tools design. This paper covers the necessary measures and the cost-effective management of these processes. Presented are measures for management of costs as a support system compatible with the custom-made and specific tool making production. Costs arise from the type and effectiveness of process implementation, thus, for cost management it is not enough to use instruments of estimating, planning and monitoring of costs, but it is also imperative to delve into processes optimisation. All costs not contributing to the end valuemust be eliminated. Aids to eliminating costs include principles of lean manufacturing, continue improvement methods and innovation, DFMA and goal alignment processes. Their aim is to create a lean production process. In order to manage costs, they must be planned and followed up throughout the entire process of tool making and kept under constant control. Instruments which can support and aide in accomplishing this are pre-calculations, budgeting, earned value management and post-calculations. At the same time, itis necessary to build cost culture persistently in all segments.
