7.3.2 Component Costs in Mass
Production
The costs involved in mass production depend
heavily on the manufacturing steps that are technically necessary
and on the degree of automation, which in turn depends on
the batch size. Recent developments, for instance, are demonstrating
significant progress in hard machining, achieving a similar
cost basis as that of metal machining. High performance ceramics
also offer significant cost optimisation to the advantage
of the user.
