Integration of Production and Cost Models in Model-Based Product Development

Companies in mechanical engineering are facing an increasingly high cost pressure international competition. Therefore, addition to the given technical functionality, oriented product design is becoming a dominating factor for success of on market. For cost-oriented design, knowledge from field production and controlling highly relevant. This contribution shows how this can be formalized linked model department model-based development. enables departments access non-domain specific but cost-relevant at early stage development process. As result, already determined department.
