Estimation of production costs in product development phase using fuzzy-neural networks

Abstract

Estimation of production costs in the product development phase, has a significant impact on achieving and maintaining the competitiveness of products on the market and the target profit, as the primary goal of production. Evaluation of individual variants conceptual and preliminary structural solutions and new product selection of a solution that has the least cost of production, the drive is controlled target costs, and target profit. This paper presents an application of fuzzy-neural network to estimate the costs of production in the product development phase to the case of single row cylindrical roller bearings.
