Evaluate the production cost of any electronic system: Component cost, PCB cost, Assembly cost

1. SYScost+ Boards & Systems Cost Simulation Tool Evaluate the production cost of any electronic system: Component cost, PCB cost, Assembly cost A tool DEDICATED TO SYSTEMs COSTING • Manufacturing cost is the main parameter used to measure the profitability or to define the pricing policy, but costing electronic systems is a complex task. • Defining the cost of an electronic system requires an estimation of all component costs, including PCB, housing and connectors, and a simulation of the cost of the assembly and test process at the board and system level. • The costing modules included in SYScost+ answer all these requirements and help costing engineers get accurate calculation. WHO SHOULD BUY THIS TOOL • SYScost+ is flexible in order to be used in multiple applications. • Manufacturing companies can use this tool to prepare quotations or optimize costs after simulating different manufacturing options. • Marketing departments are able to assess the manufacturing cost of products available on the market, including cost by function, in order to define a product range. • It is also of great help for purchasing managers in fabless or non-electronic companies who want to understand their supplier’s costs. MAIN FEATURES • Generally applicable assembly cost simulation • SYScost+ includes a process-based added value calculation tool, allowing cost simulation of any user defined assembly process. • Reference processes stored in the database are used for specific project for example: Added value will be recalculated from the particular article BoM, workshop type and country related costs, and can be recalculated with just a few clicks after changing any input, such as the manufacturing country. • Customizable and opened output format • All results outputs are MS-Excel files. • User can create his own format and share it with other users. • Workgroup-compliant, safely • All the data managed by SYScost+ are stored in an external MS-Access™ database file. Maintenance tools are included. • Smart BoM builder • Global system article tree edition using a graphical interface. • Article parts can be easily called from browsers, making possible function by function BoM edition. • Parts database is enhanced from additional projects and input fields values are preset from a minimum of input data. • Effective purchasing price search tool • Working with many price tables, price search can be automated using multiple criteria. • Price database allows pricing of standard components and price quotation management. • Price simulation can be made from fine-tuning rules, and the number of quotation requests can be reduced. • PCB manufacturing cost simulation • SYScost+ includes a PCB cost simulation tool. • PCB cost and price can be calculated from a small amount of input data.

3. Inputs / Outputs OPEN OUTPUT FORMAT 1 User creates a new Excel document model specifying data source. Model is stored in database 2 User edits new document model pages, including charts if needed. 3 User sets the data name / cell addresses where to copy data. 4 New model name is now available in top menu and can be used by any user. Documents will be automatically loaded with current project data and saved as an external Excel file. DATABASE REFERENCE TABLES • General purpose • Currencies – yearlyaveragecurrency conversion rates to beused. • Country data – parametric data or exhaustive hourly rates canbeused. • Measurementunits– unitsfactors are used for any unit conversion (BoM, operation consumable…). • Price search • Component Categories– definerules to simulatepricefromquotationwith date or quantity shift. • Parts catalogs– user cancreate parts catalogues to help editing the BoM and select known or qualifiedreferences. • Standard prices– prices of verycommon parts with non quantity-relatedprices, used for pricesearch. • Quotationprices – used for pricesearch. • Packages and package categories– used to set automatically data likemount type, pin number, footprintafter package selectionwhenediting the BoM. • PCB • PCB Technologies – stores some PCB technological descriptions, to becopiedduring PCB edition. • Panels – list of panels dimensions and parameters, to becopiedduring PCB edition. • Metalprices– used to calculateconductor and finishedmaterialsprices. • Assembly • Processflows– referenceprocessflows to becopiedduring article process flow edition • Sequences and operationscatalogs: referencesequences and operations, organized in catalogs, to becopiedduringprocess flow edition. • Equipments – table of equipments data, includingrelated labour, to becopiedduringoperationsedition. • Plants – workshop descriptions, to becopiedduringsequenceedition. • Jobs definitions– used to calculate labour cost in any country. • Consumables – used to calculate the consumables cost for anyyear. • Entitycounters– entitiesnames and relatedcriteria to beused for countingentitiesfrom article BoM and calculate an operationthroughput. • All data canbeedited by user.
