capture additional quote details and manufacturing assumptions, improve on transparency<br />

by breaking out all major cost elements, and accommodate variable data inputs for the<br />

purpose of sensitivity assessments. These features are discussed in more detail in<br />

following sections.<br />

For a given case study, all Tier 1 or OEM assemblies, identified in the CBOM as<br />

requiring cost analysis, will have a link to a MAQS worksheet. In some cases where high<br />

value final assembly Tier 2/3 parts are shipped to a Tier 1 supplier, a separate MAQS<br />

worksheet is created for greater transparency. These T2/3 MAQS worksheets are linked<br />

to T1/OEM MAQS worksheets, which in turn are referenced back to the CBOM.<br />

Because many of the detailed spreadsheet documents generated within this analysis are<br />

too large to be shown in their entirety, electronic copies can be accessed through EPA’s<br />

electronic docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0799 (http://www.regulations.gov).<br />

C.6.2 Main Sections of Manufacturing Assumption and Quote Summary Worksheet<br />

The MAQS worksheet, as shown in Figure C-3 and Figure C-4, contains seven (7) major<br />

sections. At the top of every MAQS worksheet is an information header (Section A),<br />

which captures the basic project details along with the primary quote assumptions. The<br />

project detail section references the MAQS worksheet back to the applicable CBOM.<br />

The primary quote assumption section provides the basic information needed to put<br />

together a quote for a component/assembly. Some of the parameters in the quote<br />

assumption section are automatically referenced/linked throughout the MAQS worksheet,<br />

such as capacity planning volumes, product life span, and OEM/T1 classification. The<br />

remaining parameters in this section including facility locations, shipping methods,<br />

packing specifications, and component quote level are manually considered for certain<br />

calculations.<br />
