Overview
What this module delivers
The Cost module helps teams compare program economics across design options, regions, volume ramps, and process assumptions so engineering and finance can work from the same decision model.
Capability focus
Inputs
BOM structure, region assumptions, volume ramps, yield factors, and logistics scenarios.
Outputs
Regional cost scenarios, margin-sensitivity views, and exportable business cases for internal and OEM review.
Guardrails
Transparent assumptions for landed cost, duty exposure, tolerance effects, and scenario traceability.
Deep dive
Functionality
Parametric costing translates nanocrystalline core mass, winding complexity, factory process time, electrical test scope, and packaging choices into comparable build scenarios so each option carries a defensible roll-up rather than a single headline factor.
Sensitivity analysis stresses scrap, permeability tolerance bands, commodity-linked material pressure, region and duty posture, and staged volume ramps so teams see where margin is robust and where small input shifts change program economics.
Design paths, sourcing assumptions, and logistics lanes are reviewed side by side so executives can compare landed-cost exposure, margin headroom, and risk concentration before locking a direction.
Evaluation dimensions
- BOM and mass drivers
- Yield and tolerance stress
- Regional logistics and duty posture
- Volume ramp shape
- Scenario traceability
Example workflow
A program manager compares two core design paths across India-to-USA and India-to-Canada supply lanes, applies scrap-rate and permeability-tolerance assumptions, tests a three-year volume ramp, and exports a business case showing margin sensitivity and landed-cost risk.

Frequently asked questions
Which cost elements are included?
Typical roll-ups span core material weight drivers, winding-driven labor complexity, allocated process time, electrical test and qualification steps, packaging, and logistics placeholders so landed-cost views map to recognizable magnetics build blocks.
Can the Cost module model multi-year ramps?
Yes. Volume can be staged across multiple years so teams can test how ramps interact with yield, overhead absorption, and regional logistics assumptions.
How are currency and regional assumptions handled?
Regional presets bundle currency, duty exposure, and lane-level logistics inputs so scenarios stay comparable and reviewers can see what moved when results change.
Can outputs support OEM business-case reviews or internal approvals?
Exports combine scenario tables, margin-sensitivity snapshots, and assumption notes so teams can package evidence for internal gate reviews and structured OEM discussions.
What does scenario traceability mean in practice?
Each scenario retains the input set used for yield, tolerance, region, and logistics so finance and engineering can reconcile outcomes back to the same documented assumptions.
