ABSTRACT: Companies in mechanical engineering are facing an increasingly high cost
pressure in international competition. Therefore, in addition to the given technical
functionality, cost oriented product design is becoming a dominating factor for
the success of a product on the market. For the cost-oriented product design,
knowledge from the field of production and controlling is highly relevant. This
contribution shows how this knowledge can be formalized and linked to the
product model of the engineering department in a model-based product development.
This enables engineering departments to access non-domain specific but
cost-relevant knowledge at an early stage in the development process. As a
result, the product design can already be determined cost-oriented in the
engineering department.
