In QuoteArchitect-PCA, the rules-driven Costing Engine calculates the manufacturing cost for a job in real time, based on the composed production flow for the product, taking into account the quantity and all relevant variables and constraints.
Literally in milliseconds the cost calculation is excecuted and a detailed overview of the production and test costs is generated. Each individual cost item can be drilled down to its underlying values and formulas. This also makes it very easy to perform what-if analyses with different production and test scenarios and select the best for the job.
