In the product lifecycle central place occupies product development within which product quality is generated, as well as the largest number of errors that need to be removed at the earliest possible stage of it’s development. Production cost represents one of the basic benchmarks of developed product design. Cost estimation is usually carried out in the inital stages, and cost calculation in later ones.
