Complementarity and Cost Reduction :
The success of Japanese manufacturing firms such as Honda and Toyota has renewed attention to the importance of cost reduction on existing products as a source of productivity growth. Using survey data and interviews, this paper explores the determinants of average-cost reduction for a sample of 207 automotive suppliers in the United States and Canada between 1988 and 1992. In particular, the p...
متن کاملThe Hidden Energy Cost of Web Advertising
Advertising is an important source of income for many websites. To get the attention of the unsuspecting (and probably uninterested) visitors these ads tend to use elaborate animations and graphics. Displaying such ads on the visitor's screen some times requires a vast amount of CPU-power. Present day desktop-CPUs can consume in excess of 100W when in full use. Thus, an advertisement that cons...
متن کاملTest Cost Constraint Reduction with Common Cost
Test cost is an important issue in cost-sensitive systems. It is what we pay for obtaining a data item of an object. In some applications, there are some common costs and a cost constraint. The common cost is due to the share of the same resources by several tests. The cost constraint is due to limited money, time, or other resources. Recently, the two issues have been addressed independently i...
متن کاملSoftware Cost Reduction
Software Cost Reduction (SCR) is a set of techniques for designing software systems developed by David Parnas and researchers from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) beginning in the late 1970s. A major goal of the original SCR research team was to evaluate the utility and scalability of software engineering principles by applying the principles to the reconstruction of software for a pra...
متن کاملDesigning for Cost Reduction
The relationship between cost and design variables (e.g., shape, material, gauge thickness, location of features, etc.) is highly implicit. In other words, it is often difficult to understand the direct effect that changing one or more variables will have on cost. But mathematical design optimization has the ability to efficiently explore these complex relationships. For this reason, it is a po...
