Calculation of Cost of Products Through the Activity-Based Costing Method Using Simulation (Case Study of Industrial Group Manufacturing Group)

In the present study, we have attempted to present a simulation model based on activity-based costing to estimate the price of a new product. In this regard, the combination of the cost-based approach to activities with the value engineering approach and the expansion of quality performance has been profited. In this regard, a conceptual model was developed and, to better understand the simulation model, a case study of the new product of the fourth generation of CNG capsules was examined and under two objective functions maximizing customer satisfaction and minimizing the final cost of the product simulation model Solved. The results of the study indicate that the study of the new product of the fourth generation of CNG capsules, taking into account 22 important requirements from the customer's perspective, and offering a total of 12 proposals to meet customer needs and attract customer satisfaction with the initial price of the fourth-generation CNG capsule, 150 thousand tomans with the primary goal of maximizing customer satisfaction, the price of a product is equal to one million 811 thousand USD, while in the second function with the consideration of minimizing the final cost of the product, the final cost value is estimated at 1 778 thousand tomans. To be This is while the amount of customer satisfaction varies from 464 to 307 for the first and second objective function, respectively.
