Abstract 

The technological environment in which mass production of parts is done is continuously changing at a rapid rate. In recent decades, advances in production and engineering have made factories with almost 95% automation possible. The Drilling/Milling and Deburring Cost model estimates the cost of the two process steps associated with Coupling Cost Model. These two steps are: 1) Drilling/Milling the part, and 2) Deburring the part. The Coupling Cost Model is inherently different from the Parametric Cost Model (PCM) in this respect. PCM is modeled as a stand-alone process; CCM is modeled as two coupled processes. The nature and ramifications of this difference are described in this report.
