Production Costing of an Advanced/Innovative Wind Energy Concept (AIWEC): Extension of the SAMICS Methodology

摘要

The Standard Assembly-line Manufacturing Industry Costing Standards (SAMICS) were designed as a tool for estimating the price of a manufactured product based on an assembly-line production facility. The cost of products such as the McDonnell Douglass 40-kW Giromill, which cannot be manufactured on an assembly line in small quantities, could not be analyzed using the standard SAMICS methodology. To analyze the cost of such products using SAMICS, it was necessary to adapt the standard methodology for application to a job shop configuration. The resulting methodology extension is reported.
