PROPOSAL • PERFORM COST ANALYSIS ON 2 DIFFERENT PROCESSES • MACHINING Vs. CASTING • DETERMINE WHICH PROCESS IS ECONOMICALLY BENIFICIAL BASED ON NET PRESENT WORTH ANALYSIS
REQUEST FOR QUOTE • 4 FIN IMPELLER – PERSONAL WATERCRAFT APPLICATION • 6061-T6 ALUMINUM ALLOY • 3500 PIECES PER YEAR • MARR IS 12.5% • INFLATION IS 3.5%
MANUFACTURING PROCESS • 5-AXIS HIGH SPEED CNC MACHINING
MANUFACTURING PROCESS • MOLTEN ALUMINUM DIE CASTING • “SQUEEZE CASTING”
SENSITIVIY ANALYSIS • FOR BOTH OPTIONS, CHANGE IN TOTAL INCOME HAD THE MOST EFFECT • 20% CHANGE IN INCOME RESULTED IN 30% CHANGE IN PRESENT VALUE (HIGH/LOW) • FOR CASTING, ELECTRICITY WAS SIGNIFICANT AS WELL (LARGER AMOUNT = HIGHER SIGNIFICANCE) • SALVAGE LEAST SIGNIGFICANT
