Cost Analysis Of Electronic Systems

Focusing on cost modeling for electronic systems, this book serves advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals in electronics technology. It integrates traditional engineering economics with manufacturing process and life cycle cost management. Key topics include various cost analysis methods such as process-flow and activity-based costing, while also addressing learning curves, data uncertainty, and defects. Additionally, it covers system sustainment, reliability, maintenance, and total cost of ownership, culminating in discussions on return on investment.
