Value engineering cost and price models for aerospace applications of isothermal forging

The aim of this thesis is the developement of a cost and price model for the production of specific aerospace components. The considered components are high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor discs featured in Rolls-Royce aircraft engines. A detailed investigation of the component design was carried out first, followed by a research of the manufacturing process steps and a calculation of process parameters. Using the obtained data and the existing Excel cost model structure, it was possible to develop the disc's cost model.
