The increasingly global and competitive nature of volume car production has stimulated interest in methods for the technoeconomic evaluation of manufacturing operations and materials. Materials selection for the car body is complicated by the need to counterbalance costs with other criteria such as weight saving. A model for evaluating these technical and economic aspects would be a very useful tool for automakers, and could be used for comparing certain manufacturing processes as well as identifying limiting parameters. A number of different cost analysis methods are currently used. The most common of them are outlined, concentrating on the use of technical cost modelling for the evaluation of the various costs involved in the production of autobody panels from a number of different materials. The potential uses for the results obtained from these models in the form of sensitivity analysis are demonstrated, the most important results being that material price and tool cost are two of the key factors in body panel stamping.
