Step 6: Phase 2 (component/assembly level) teardowns are done, based on the updated<br />

CBOM’s. Components and assemblies are disassembled, and processes and operations<br />

are mapped in full detail. The process mapping generates key process information for the<br />

quote worksheets. Several databases, containing critical costing information, provide<br />

support to the mapping process.<br />

Step 7: Manufacturing Assumption and Quote Summary (MAQS) worksheets are<br />

generated for all parts undergoing the cost analysis. The MAQS details all cost elements<br />

making up the final unit costs:<br />

� material<br />

� labor<br />

� burden<br />

� end item scrap<br />

� selling, general & administrative (SG&A)<br />

� profit<br />

� engineering design & testing (ED&T)<br />

� packaging<br />

In addition, the MAQS worksheet has active links to all key costing parameters.<br />

Step 8: Parts with high or unexpected cost results are subjected to a marketplace crosscheck<br />

such as comparison with supplier price quotes, or wider consultation with company<br />

and industry resources beyond the CFT.<br />

Step 9: All costs calculated in the MAQS worksheets are input automatically into the<br />

Subsystem <strong>Cost</strong> Model <strong>Analysis</strong> Templates (CMAT) and grouped by sub-subsystems.<br />

Some examples of sub-subsystems contained within the high voltage traction battery<br />

subsystem include the following: traction battery assembly, traction battery internal wire<br />

harness, traction battery sensing and control modules, and traction battery cooling<br />

module.<br />

Step 10: The System CMAT is then created, which rolls up all the subsystem differential<br />

costs to establish a final system unit cost. For case study #0502, the subsystems in the<br />

Electrical <strong>Power</strong> Supply system included the service battery, generator /alternator and<br />

regulator, high voltage traction battery, voltage converter/inverter, and energy<br />

management module subsystem.<br />

Step 11: The final step in the process is creating the Vehicle CMAT, which rolls up all<br />

the system differential costs to establish a net vehicle incremental cost. For case study<br />

#0502, the systems included in the analysis were engine, transmission, body, brake,<br />

climate control, power supply and power distribution.<br />
