Neither the design nor the process  of manufacturing is perfect. As a result, the product will be faulty,  will require \u003cem\u003etesting\u003c\/em\u003e and fixing. Where does \u003cem\u003eeconomics\u003c\/em\u003e  enter this scenario? \u003cbr\u003e  Consider the cost of testing and fixing the product. If a manufactured  product is grossly faulty, or too many of the products are faulty, the  cost of testing and fixing will be high. Suppose we do not like that.  We then ask what is the cause of the faulty product. There must be  something wrong in the manufacturing process. We trace this cause and  fix it. Suppose we fix all possible causes and have no defective  products. We would have eliminated the need for testing. \u003cbr\u003e  Unfortunately, things are not so perfect. There is a cost involved  with finding and eliminating the causes of faults. We thus have two  costs: the cost of testing and fixing (we will call it cost-1), and  the cost of finding and eliminating causes of faults (call it cost-2).  Both costs, in some way, are included in the overall cost of the  product. If we try to eliminate cost-1, cost-2 goes up, and vice  versa. An economic system of production will minimize the overall cost  of the product. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eEconomics of Electronic Design, Manufacture and Test\u003c\/em\u003e is a  collection of research contributions derived from the Second Workshop  on Economics of Design, Manufacture and Test, written for inclusion in  this book. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441951427\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-5048-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398720974988,"sku":"9781441951427","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441951427.jpg?v=1755442249","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441951427","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
