Product cost calculation

Method for collaborative cost estimation to be used in the design phase to take into account the cost factor. It also represents an important channel for the exploitation of the collaborative features of Know4Car and also put the basis for a so-called “network effect”. This tool is currently not integrated in the current prototype, but the concept is under elaboration and pre-validation as parallel activity. Product cost calculation requires close collaboration within an organization (Engineering, Controlling, Procurement, Sales, etc.) and also along the supply chain (suppliers, sub-suppliers).
