Engenharia de custo: introdução do conceito e demonstração de uma análise de custos por meio da abordagem bottom-up de uma peça plástica aplicada na indústria automotiva

Abstract

The Cost Engineer holistically analyzes industrial processes and provides key information for decision-making throughout the life cycle of a project, as well as identifying opportunity costs on the scale of millions. The present study aims to establish the definitions of Cost Engineering, in addition to presenting a cost analysis demonstration by the bottom-up approach to a plastic part applied in the automotive industry. As an undergraduate thesis, it is also intended to elucidate and link the main theme of this work with specific areas from the Mechanical Engineering Graduation course provided by the Federal Technological University of Paraná, such as production, manufacturing, management and materials.
