Engineering economy

Japanese: エンジニアリングエコノミー(英語表記)engineering economy
Engineering economy
A method to provide economic criteria for decision-making on various industrial and technological issues in companies. Its applications include (1) new capital investment proposals, (2) replacement of existing equipment, (3) decision on in-house or outsourced manufacturing of processed parts, (4) processing methods and equipment improvements, (5) decision on whether to accept an order, and (6) evaluation of new product projects, but it is particularly used in economic calculations for capital investment. It was systematized by Stanford University professor EL Grant and others. The Mappy method is well-known as a method for comparative evaluation of a single investment with competing equipment, and has recently been incorporated into economic calculations for complex investment plans and is widely used.
