Cost of a Part

Thanks to today’s advances in technology, an experienced designer can create a new part very quickly. Every year CAD Software Editors improve their products by adding new features and capabilities thus allowing for increased productivity.



It is usually much faster for an experienced designer to create a new part than to search the company database for similar or identical parts. Who is to blame for this? After all, your design team has to meet tight schedules and the company has critical marketing windows within which it must introduce its new products.



Designing a new part is only the beginning of the entire part creation process. As you go through the various steps that will finally take the part to inventory, you add value to it and therefore increase the part’s cost. Many studies have demonstrated that the annual carrying cost per extra part number ranges from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars.
