This eBook contains material on the use of software, organization strategies in cost estimating, types of costs, learning curves, and much more. Topics presented include manufacturing costs, standard versus actual costs, cost in relation to product volume, analysis, types of estimates, cost estimating controls, cost requests from other departments, evaluating supplier quotes, calculating selling prices, and much more.
Revised and expanded, the book recognizes the extremely important role estimating is playing in today’s highly competitive global economy. Realistic Cost Estimating for Manufacturing provides a survey of the myriad manufacturing processes and practices and combines this with in-depth explanations and examples of costing methods and tools. A comprehensive, standardized approach to their application is given. Among the manufacturing processes surveyed are: machining, casting, stamping, forging, welding, plastics technology, finishing, and rapid prototyping.
This is the Instructor’s Guide, which complements Realistic Cost Estimating for Manufacturing, Third Edition . It contains answers to the end-of-chapter review questions. As with previous editions, instructors of cost estimating courses can rely on the book and this Instructor’s Guide to provide a solid foundation for manufacturing engineering courses and programs of study.

Within lean manufacturing, companies seeking to improve flow, quality, and turnaround time while minimizing their capital spending use right-sized equipment. Instead of large product batches that must be stored, right-sized equipment produces just the amount of product needed, and errors in the process can be quickly exposed and eliminated. This Right-Sized Equipment program gives the viewer an exclusive look into one of the Boeing Company's Commercial Airplane Plant and Integrated Aero Structures business unit to explain how right-sized equipment fits with their lean journey.
