Abstract
In manufacturing environment cost estimates process is made in all stages of product development from research to final product. Good estimating techniques and procedures are necessary for each manufacturing stage. When properly implemented, these techniques produce acceptable operational estimates that are useful to management for decision-making.
In this research, an algorithm is developed to build system is called FBMCE (Feature-Based Manufacturing Cost Estimate) to incorporate making decisions integrating design, process planning and manufacturing for cost estimate purposes. The FBMCE system has been tested on product (Shaft 8E - 200) in State Company for Electrical Industries and showed promising results
