Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of physical cost optimization for automotive products, specifically to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for physical cost optimization of automotive products. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the physical cost of automotive products is analyzed and optimized at the component assembly level. However, since automotive products are assembled from various sub-parts through manufacturing methods such as assembly, welding, and riveting, the sub-parts, as the smallest manufacturing units, determine the material costs. The physical cost of the automotive product is a major component of the component cost, directly determining the overall physical cost of the component assembly. Because different calculation and analysis personnel have varying understandings of the manufacturing methods of the sub-parts, the cost values ​​calculated by different personnel for the same part differ significantly, and the optimized physical cost tends to be too high. Furthermore, existing cost optimization schemes typically only analyze the cost of new products theoretically, lacking comparisons with previous products, leading to overly idealized analysis results and significant deviations from actual costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for optimizing the physical cost of automotive products, which can solve the technical problems of large deviations in the optimization of the physical cost of automotive products or the high cost after optimization in the prior art.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for optimizing the physical cost of an automotive product, wherein the automotive product is composed of multiple target parts, and the method for optimizing the physical cost of the automotive product includes: Obtain structural information of the actual automotive product and the attributes of multiple target parts; Based on the properties of each target part, multiple reference parts for each target part are selected from the reference parts library. Based on the differences in attributes between each target part and its corresponding multiple reference parts, multiple cost adjustment coefficients are calculated for each target part to obtain multiple candidate costs for each target part. The lowest cost of each target part is determined from multiple candidate costs. Based on the lowest costs of all target parts and the structural information, the total cost of the actual automotive product is calculated.

[0005] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the step of selecting multiple reference parts for each target part from a reference parts library based on the attributes of each target part includes: Based on the attributes of each target part, the similarity between the target part and each part in the reference part library is calculated.

For the current reference part of the current target part, the actual material cost of the current reference part is multiplied by the material unit price coefficient and the physical material cost coefficient corresponding to the current reference part to obtain the material cost of the current target part. The actual manufacturing cost of the current reference part is multiplied by the manufacturing cost coefficient corresponding to the current reference part to obtain the manufacturing cost of the current target part. The material cost and manufacturing cost of the current target part, calculated based on the current reference part, are added together to obtain a candidate cost of the current target part, thereby obtaining multiple candidate costs of the current target part.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, the step of filtering parts in the reference parts library with a similarity greater than or equal to a preset threshold as reference parts further includes: When there are no parts in the reference parts library with a similarity greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the part with the highest similarity is selected as the reference part.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, it further includes: When a part with a similarity greater than or equal to a preset recommendation threshold exists in the reference parts library, that part is selected as a recommended reuse part.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one implementation, determining the lowest cost of each target part from multiple candidate costs, and calculating the total cost of the actual automotive product based on the lowest costs of all target parts and the structural information, includes: The lowest cost of each target part is determined from multiple candidate costs, and the lowest costs of all target parts are summed to obtain the actual manufacturing cost of the automobile product.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] This application provides a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for optimizing the physical cost of automotive products, which can solve the technical problems of large deviations in the optimization of the physical cost of automotive products or the high cost after optimization in the prior art.

[0019] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for optimizing the physical cost of automotive products.

[0020] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the method for optimizing the physical cost of automotive products in this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method for optimizing the physical cost of automotive products specifically includes the following steps: Step S1: Obtain the structural information of the actual automotive product and the attributes of multiple target parts.

[0021] Specifically, the structural information of the actual automotive product includes its volume and the connection methods and assembly relationships between multiple target parts. The attributes of each target part include its material, manufacturing process, dimensions, and weight. The volume of the actual automotive product specifically refers to the volume of its bounding box. The connection methods and assembly relationships between multiple target parts specifically refer to the connection types such as welding, riveting, and bolting. The material of the target part specifically refers to the type and grade of the main material used to manufacture the part; the material used directly affects material costs. The manufacturing process of the target part specifically refers to the main manufacturing methods used in the final part, such as stamping, injection molding, and die casting. The dimensions of the target part specifically refer to its maximum external dimensions, thickness, and hole diameter, etc., used to calculate material usage and compare dimensional differences with reference parts. The weight of the target part specifically refers to its design net weight or estimated weight, used to calculate material costs and assess part lightweighting.

[0022] Step S2: Based on the attributes of each target part, select multiple reference parts for each target part from the reference part library.

[0023] In this embodiment of the application, step S2 specifically includes the following steps: Step S21: Calculate the similarity between the target part and each part in the reference part library based on the attributes of each target part.

[0024] In this embodiment of the application, step S21 specifically includes the following steps: Step S211: Obtain the properties of each part in the reference parts library.

[0025] Specifically, the reference parts library is a pre-generated historical parts database. It includes a collection of parts data that has been verified through actual production, including the attributes of each part, as well as data such as the actual material cost and actual manufacturing cost of each part.

[0026] Step S212: Based on the material identifier and process identifier of the target part and the material identifier and process identifier of each part in the reference part library, query the preset mapping table to obtain the material and process difference value. The preset mapping table includes the mapping relationship between the combination pairs composed of material identifier and process identifier and the material and process difference value.

[0027] Specifically, based on the materials and processes of the target part or each part in the reference part library, and according to the preset material standard coding rules, the specific materials and processes used are mapped to material identifiers and process identifiers.

[0028] The material and process identifiers of the target part are combined into one query condition, and the material and process identifiers of each part in the reference parts library are combined into another query condition, forming a combined pair. This combined pair is then input into a preset mapping table to query the material-process difference value. The preset mapping table stores the mapping relationship between the combined pairs of material and process identifiers and the material-process difference value. For example, inputting "Material A + Process X" and "Material A + Process Y" will retrieve a difference value of 0.3 between the two. The preset mapping table is based on historical cost data and engineering experience and is used to standardize the comparability between different combinations.

[0029] Step S213: Calculate the size difference value based on the size of the target part and the size of each part in the reference parts library.

[0030] Specifically, one or more dimensions of the target part, such as the length or thickness of the target part, are selected and compared with the corresponding dimensions of the candidate parts. In this embodiment, a normalized deviation formula can be used for calculation, specifically:

[0031] This transforms absolute differences in dimensions into relative proportions, allowing for comparisons between different dimensions.

[0032] Step S214: Calculate the weight difference value based on the weight of the target part and the weights of each part in the reference parts library.

[0033] Specifically, the calculation of the weight difference value is as follows:

[0034] This transforms the absolute difference in weight into a relative proportion, allowing for comparisons between different weights.

[0035] Step S215: Based on the material and process difference values, size difference values, and weight difference values, perform weighted fusion to obtain the similarity between the target part and each part in the reference part library.

[0036] Specifically, the similarity is calculated as follows:

[0037] in, , , All are weighting coefficients, and the sum of the weighting coefficients is 1. The closer the similarity result is to 1, the higher the similarity. The weighting coefficients can be allocated according to the design requirements of the specific target part. In a specific embodiment, It can be 0.5. It can be 0.3. It can be 0.2.

[0038] Step S22: Select parts from the reference parts library whose similarity is greater than or equal to a preset threshold as reference parts.

[0039] Specifically, after completing step S21 of traversing and calculating all parts in the reference parts library, a filtering process is performed based on a preset threshold. All parts with a similarity score greater than or equal to the preset threshold are filtered as reference parts for the current target part. In a specific embodiment, the preset threshold can be 0.75.

[0040] This application's embodiments, through the aforementioned screening method, transform the subjective judgment of similarity into an objective calculation process based on unified rules and data. This ensures that the set of reference parts selected for the same target part is consistent when different analysts or at different times perform analyses, fundamentally eliminating differences in matching benchmarks caused by individual experience or different perceptions. Furthermore, by separately calculating and weighting the differences in material processing, dimensions, and weight, key factors affecting the technical and cost characteristics of the part can be considered in a balanced manner, avoiding the one-sidedness of a single-dimensional evaluation and making the selected reference parts more accurate.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, when there are no parts in the reference parts library with a similarity greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the part with the highest similarity is selected as the reference part.

[0042] Specifically, after completing step S21, which iterates through and calculates the similarity of all parts in the reference parts library, if no part in the reference parts library has a similarity greater than or equal to a preset threshold, then the part with the highest similarity is selected from all parts in the reference parts library as the reference part for the current target part. This ensures that even in the special case of insufficient coverage of the reference parts library, the cost analysis and optimization process can still be carried out based on the data of the closest reference part.

[0043] In this embodiment of the application, when there is a part in the reference parts library with a similarity greater than or equal to a preset recommendation threshold, the part is selected as a recommended reuse part.

[0044] Specifically, the preset recommended threshold is usually higher than the target threshold, meaning that parts with a value greater than or equal to the preset recommended threshold have a very high similarity to the current target part, and may be directly replaceable without redesign or with only minimal design modifications. Setting recommended reusable parts can provide designers with suggestions for part reuse, directly reducing the cost and time of designing new parts, and achieving cost savings and efficiency improvements from the source.

[0045] Step S3: Based on the differences in attributes between each target part and its corresponding multiple reference parts, calculate multiple cost adjustment coefficients for each target part to obtain multiple candidate costs for each target part.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, step S3, obtaining multiple candidate costs for the current target part, specifically includes the following steps: Step S31: Obtain the actual cost of each reference part corresponding to the current target part. The actual cost includes the actual material cost and the actual manufacturing cost.

[0047] Specifically, the actual material cost of the reference part refers to the cost of raw materials consumed in producing the reference part, and the actual manufacturing cost of the reference part refers to the processing costs incurred in processing the part from raw materials to finished products.

[0048] Step S32: For the current reference part of the current target part, determine the material unit price coefficient based on the ratio of the difference in material unit price between the current target part and the current reference part, determine the physical material cost coefficient based on the ratio of the difference in material usage between the current target part and the current reference part, and determine the manufacturing cost coefficient based on the ratio of the difference in manufacturing parameters between the current target part and the current reference part.

[0049] Specifically, the determination of the material unit price coefficient is as follows:

[0050] Among them, the material unit price coefficient can reflect the difference in unit material price between the current target part and the current reference part due to the use of different specific materials.

[0051] The specific steps for determining the cost coefficient of physical materials are as follows:

[0052] Among them, the physical material cost coefficient can reflect the difference in material consumption between the current target part and the current reference part due to differences in size and structure.

[0053] The determination of the manufacturing cost coefficient is as follows:

[0054] The manufacturing parameters of a part can be set based on the time ratio of its machining processes, the equipment complexity coefficient ratio, or the overall process complexity. In a specific embodiment, if the target part requires five-axis machining, the manufacturing parameters of the target part can be set to 1.4, while the reference part only requires three-axis machining, and the manufacturing parameters of the reference part can be set to 1.0.

[0055] Step S33: For the current reference part of the current target part, multiply the actual material cost of the current reference part by the material unit price coefficient and the physical material cost coefficient corresponding to the current reference part to obtain the material cost of the current target part. Multiply the actual manufacturing cost of the current reference part by the manufacturing cost coefficient corresponding to the current reference part to obtain the manufacturing cost of the current target part.

[0056] Specifically, based on the actual material cost of the current reference part, the material unit price and material usage are adjusted using material unit price coefficients and physical material cost coefficients to obtain the material cost of the current target part. Based on the actual manufacturing cost of the current reference part, the manufacturing cost is adjusted using manufacturing cost coefficients to obtain the manufacturing cost of the current target part.

[0057] Step S34: Add the material cost and manufacturing cost of the current target part calculated based on the current reference part to obtain a candidate cost of the current target part, thereby obtaining multiple candidate costs of the current target part.

[0058] Specifically, for each selected reference part, the operations of steps S32 to S34 are repeated to generate multiple candidate costs for the target part based on different reference parts.

[0059] Step S4: Determine the lowest cost of each target part from multiple candidate costs, and calculate the total cost of the actual vehicle product based on the lowest cost and structural information of all target parts.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, step S4 specifically includes the following steps: Step S41: Determine the lowest cost of each target part from multiple candidate costs, sum the lowest costs of all target parts, and obtain the manufacturing cost of the actual automobile product.

[0061] Specifically, for each target part constituting the physical automobile product, the lowest value among the multiple candidate costs generated in step S3 is selected and determined as the minimum cost of that target part. The minimum costs of all the target parts are arithmetically summed, and the resulting sum is defined as the manufacturing cost of the physical automobile product. The manufacturing cost of the physical automobile product represents the total cost required to process and manufacture all the raw materials constituting the product into the final form of each individual part.

[0062] Step S42: Based on the structural information, calculate the logistics cost and the connection process cost between multiple target parts.

[0063] Specifically, based on the total volume and weight of the actual vehicle as defined in the structural information, and combined with the logistics transportation rate standards of the logistics industry, the estimated transportation cost, i.e., the logistics cost, is calculated for transporting the actual vehicle from the production site to the usage site or the next stage. Based on the connection methods and quantities between multiple target parts as defined in the structural information, and combined with the standard operating hours and rates for each connection method, the assembly cost, i.e., the connection process cost, is calculated for assembling all the parts into the final product.

[0064] Step S43: Sum the manufacturing cost of the actual vehicle product with the logistics cost and the connection process cost between multiple target parts to obtain the total cost of the actual vehicle product.

[0065] Specifically, the embodiments of this application not only summarize the manufacturing costs of parts, but also combine the logistics costs of the actual automotive products and the connection process costs between multiple target parts, making the cost analysis results more comprehensive and closer to actual business scenarios.

[0066] This application's embodiments automatically select reference parts from a reference parts library based on the target part's attributes and calculate costs based on attribute differences. This transforms the subjective calculation process, which relies on personal experience and understanding, into a standardized process based on a unified data source, solving the problem of large discrepancies in calculation results caused by varying personnel perceptions. This application's embodiments generate multiple candidate costs for each target part and automatically determine its lowest cost. This solution provides each part with multiple optional cost paths based on historical data and automatically identifies lower-cost options, helping to suppress the problem of still high costs after optimization. This application's embodiments extrapolate new costs based on actual data in the reference parts library through quantified attribute differences, making cost analysis based on comparison with practical cases. This avoids idealization biases caused by purely theoretical analysis and makes the results closer to reality.
