A method for simulating the manufacturing cost of a generic steel unibody is described. The ability to perform such an analysis without proprietary information does two things. First, generic approach allows non-automaker players such as material suppliers to better understand the relative cost position of different material and process technologies. Second, the generic analysis can be used as a common language for automakers to use when talking with one another. With respect to avenues for cost reduction in the steel unibody, several major areas for exploration include the reduction of vehicle and scrap mass, reduction of fabrication tooling investment, and reduction of fabrication plant downtime.
