Abstract
In the recent years, the shift from vehicles fueled with fossil energy to electrically powered cars has notably gained momentum. The major challenge to be overcome is achieving competitive prices in spite of the high costs for traction batteries. Besides product and production process improvement a non-negligible, but often underestimated cost-factor can be found in logistics, since the production technology is not continuous yet and neither are the logistics systems.
This paper assesses possible methods to evaluate cost factors on different designs of load carrier systems. Moreover, the combination of cost factors for a particular scenario is not transparent due to numerous interdependencies. But as cost reduction is one of the goals for the simultaneous engineering process, the final decision for or against these scenarios is ultimately made from an economical perspective. Therefore, an evaluation model is necessary to assess cost criteria. Based upon the integrated product and process development a logistics development process is defined and a framework for a cost model to serve cost transparency is outlined. The results are validated by comparing the realization of cell electrodes without and with the established methodic approach.
