Original Software Package for Calculating the Selling Price of Industrial Products
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2009, Vol 10, Issue 27
Abstract
The present paper highlights the great importance of the selling price of the industrial products, as an indicator for the economical efficiency of the engineering activities that led to the creation of an industrial product. The present paper is focused on expressing the selling price of industrial products by including the designing cost of the product in the category of direct costs. In this way it is developed an original software package that allows the rapid calculation of the selling price. The software package was created by using AutoCAD designing environment and VisualLISP and DCL programming languages, being very easy to use. The software product is based on a mathematical model that unlike other mathematical model met in the specialized literature, which include the designing cost within indirect costs, considers this type of cost a direct cost. This approach is based at least on two reasons. One is the fact that expressing the designing cost as a direct cost allows a company to identify possibilities for cost reduction. Other reason refers to the companies having as activity object product design and these companies have to express the cost of designing a single part, in order to calculate the price of this king of service. Thus, the present paper is focused on a possible way of cost reduction, as low cost is considered a universally attractive objective.
