This Reverse Costing analysis has been conducted in several phases :

• The initialization of the analysisPictures of the elements to be studied.Identification of the components.

• Description of the material in the “SYScost+” softwareCreation of an “estimation project” of the studied board with SYScost+ software.Construction of the Bill of Material (BOM).

• Assessing the materialSearching for the price of each reference among distributors and manufacturers.Assessing the cost of the PCB and of the unaccounted references (unknown by distributors)The BOM is valued with SYScost+ : price simulation according to the requested quantities.

• Assessing the assembling and test phasesAssembly and test lines are modeled with the SYScost+ software.The assembly and tests costs are estimated.

• Production cost & selling priceEstimation of the production cost & selling price.

• ReportA report is edited.

SYScost+©, is a software tool developed by SYSTEM PLUS CONSULTING to calculate the cost of electronic boards. Moreinformation on the software can be found at www.systemplus.fr.

Reverse costing analysis represents the best cost/price evaluation given the publically available data, and estimates completed by industry experts.

Given the hypothesis presented in this analysis, the major sources of correction would lead to a +/- 30% correction on the manufacturing cost (if all parameters are cumulated).

These results are open for discussion. We can reevaluate this circuit with your information. Please contact us:
