• 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.

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

SYScost+Boards & Systems Cost Simulation Tool

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.

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.

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.

DATABASE REFERENCE TABLES

• General purpose Currencies – yearly average currency conversion rates to be used. Country data – parametric data or exhaustive hourly rates can be used. Measurement units – units factors are used for any unit conversion (BoM, operation consumable…).

• Price search Component Categories – define rules to simulate price from quotation with date or quantity shift. Parts catalogs – user can create parts catalogues to help editing the BoM and select known or qualified references. Standard prices – prices of very common parts with non quantity-related prices, used for price search. Quotation prices – used for price search. Packages and package categories – used to set automatically data like mount type, pin number, footprint after package

selection when editing the BoM.

• PCB PCB Technologies – stores some PCB technological descriptions, to be copied during PCB edition. Panels – list of panels dimensions and parameters, to be copied during PCB edition. Metal prices – used to calculate conductor and finished materials prices.

• Assembly Process flows – reference process flows to be copied during article process flow edition Sequences and operations catalogs: reference sequences and operations, organized in catalogs, to be copied during process

flow edition. Equipments – table of equipments data, including related labour, to be copied during operations edition. Plants – workshop descriptions, to be copied during sequence edition. Jobs definitions – used to calculate labour cost in any country. Consumables – used to calculate the consumables cost for any year. Entity counters – entities names and related criteria to be used for counting entities from article BoM and calculate an

operation throughput.

All data can be edited by user.
