Abstract
The drive for a more flexible Through-life Engineering servicing technology that can enhance both productivity and profitability for the operation of maintenance, repair, overhaul (MRO) in the aerospace implores harnessing the innovation of hybrid-additive manufacturing (HAM). Hybrid manufacturing system seeks to reduce cost by utilizing the tool-less production principle of additive manufacturing combine with the conventional subtractive manufacturing for product finishing or post-processing. HAM has many merits that make it an attractive option in manufacturing of high performance products as peculiar to MRO businesses. Therefore, this paper aims to establish a cost model derived from a “Time Driven Activity Based Costing” approach for the technological integration of Hybrid system to increase economic competitiveness of highly MRO services in the aerospace industry. Hence, a unique cost formulation method was investigated through analytical technique in cost engineering models for the purpose of manufacturing processes.
