Cost estimation model in early stage of design through implant miniplate complexity process index

Manufacturing is an activity of processing raw materials into semi-finished or finished products. In addition to manufacturing process, the industry needs product design, material selection, material distribution to create a product. A product produced from a manufacturing system has an index of product complexity that illustrates that the product is made with a certain degree of complexity. The process done on the production of miniplate implants is the process of forming an outside profile, slicing process, the hole process, micro finishing, and ultrasonic cleaning. Quantitative methods used are feature-based cost, operationbased cost, and breakdown approach. Feature based cost consists of cost by feature, that is the cost outside profile, slicing process, the hole process, micro finishing, and ultrasonic cleaning costs. Operation based cost consists of set up, operation, and unloading costs. Breakdown approach consists of cost set tool, set workpiece, and programming on set up, operator cost, material, overhead, energy, and tool, unloading cost consists of release tool cost and release workpiece. Process complexity of the miniplate implant manufacturing process in the early stage of the design can be done with the help of Siemens Nx 8 software as a timing guide with the same parameters and has been tested for the correlation. The process complexity index of the miniplate implant manufacturing process is 100.08 and the estimated process cost of the miniplate implant manufacturing process using a combined analytical technique is IDR 139.150,94.
