The Research And Application On Product Cost Estimation System Of Medical Apparatus And Instruments Industry In Supply Chain

The supply chain model is quite different between medical apparatus and instruments (MDSIN) industry and other manufacturing industry. It require the plants of medical apparatus and instruments industry to control factory environment with very high level such as high cleanliness level and accurate temperature control. So the factories of the industry is very hard to be set up within a short time. So the manufacture of the industry is always concentrated. The product profit of MDSIN was very high before. So the supply chain and product cost didn't attract managers a lot. But current now the cost of the product became higher and higher. So the MDSIN companies began to pay more attention to the product cost and they want to have a reasonable product cost estimation system to help to estimate the product cost. And because the market of each different MDSIN is very small, MDSIN companies can't use the supply chain system like auto industry. So the cost in MDSIN supply chain should be study and then the product cost estimation system of MDSIN can be set up with MDSIN industry characteristics.Basic on above background, the traditional cost estimation way is not suitable. But the standard cost calculation way is also the basis of each kinds of product cost estimation system. And the product estimation system of D company which is in MDSIN industry can be used for reference and study. And then basic the characteristics of MDSIN industry supply chain, the new product cost estimation system can be designed. The management can get the more accurate cost of product than before and it can be used to make decisions for the management of company.
