TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE INNOVATED TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WAGONS BRAKE TRIANGLE

Increasing profits by reducing costs during product development and its production quality increasingare challenges that companies face every day in their operations. The aspiration of modern is to achievean effect similar those mass (or at least large series production) even on extremely small ofproducts, personalized products. Techno-economic analysis an integral part thecompany's information system. This paper presents a techno-economic innovative technologiesfor the wagons triangle brake, brake system freight andpassenger older generation: casting additive technologies. Given there are currently availabledifferent technologies can be applied, one criteria for choosing technology itsprofitability. choice solution, whether will made welding) or additivetechnology, mostly influenced size series. In case cast part, so-called constant costs(model, molds cores), but variable therefore lower, i.e., proportional number ofmanufactured pieces. Additive used make such parts use numerous methods, three ofwhich stand out due application practice. These stereolithography (STL), extruded material (EBM)and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). Machine cost main factor melt extrusion,while sintering. price additively manufactured calculatedaccording model follows activities, where each linked specific activity. analysisindicates not cheap process, especially serial production, they areexcellent individual rapid prototyping, obtained additivetechnology same piece. Also, have high initial (casting molds, etc.), castings arerelatively cheap, which leads drop total as increases. Both limitations interms materials manufacturing processes. Based technoeconomicanalysis, it concluded, also, certain activities require engagement other thatshould entrusted with business tasks - this way, company's resources saved andemployed more expedient bring greater benefits, work disturbed ordisturbed. advantage over already profitable 42pieces, compared forging, 2.5 times cheaper.
