Purpose: The article aims to present a proposal and discuss the investment cost calculation procedures based on data collected during the manufacturing process, according to standard SPC control chart evaluation and standard PDCA. It is applied as a tool to support the process of continuous improvement of the manufacturing process and improve profitability by proper allocation the cost of investment and resources. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses the results of a literature review on the issue of cost analysis and their modelling. Key elements are the main cost components, but also those that are considered less important and maybe overall decisive. Application cost to benefit relations - as a method of data evaluation for cost modelling to improve overall cost structure is proposed. Findings: The relationship between return on investment and amortisation time allows to easily visualise which of the proposed changes are the most cost-effective over time. Based on the analysis conducted the results, the change is proposed below, in order from the most cost-effective. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on the impact if a decision were based on the findings and proposals defined. Practical implications: Each production process is based on the use of resources. This applies to both production plants and other activities. A resource can be anything that will be used in the manufacturing process. Of key importance for the success of the project is their proper use and not only effective but most of all efficient. Originality/value: The considerations presented in the study may be the basis for determining the key factors of the cost of production and investment. The proposed simulation model allows for determining the efficient direction for investment. This, in turn, should enable us to define the main directions of searching for the optimisation of the product cost to achieve the expected cost and quality level.

The aim of the article is to present a proposal and discuss the production cost calculation procedures based on data collected during manufacturing process, according to standard SPC control chart evaluation. It is applied as a tool to support the process of continuous improvement of the manufacturing process and improve profitability by reducing the cost of production. Research methodology - the study uses the results of a literature review on the issue of cost analysis and their modeling. Key elements are the main cost components, but also those that are considered less important and may be overall decisive. Application of Statistical Process Control - as a method of data collection for cost modeling to improve overall cost structure is proposed. Originality/value - the considerations presented in the study may be the basis for determining the key components of the cost of production. The proposed simulation model allows for the determination of the main quality cost factors. This, in turn, should allow to define the main directions of searching for the optimization of the product cost in order to achieve the expected level of cost and quality.

It is essential for manufacturers to consider the interrelation among quality, inventory, and maintenance decisions to detect imperfect quality products, keep the production system in good operating condition, and manage quality and inventory costs. Hence, this paper aims to develop an integrated model of inventory planning, quality engineering, and maintenance scheduling in which the expected total cost per time unit is minimised by determining the sample size, sampling interval, control limit coefficient, along with production cycle time. In this regard, an imperfect multi-product manufacturing system is considered, in which the inventory shortage in satisfying the demand for each product type and the idle time during the production cycle are not allowed. It is assumed that the process starts in an in-control condition where most produced units are conforming. However, due to the occurrence of an assignable cause (AC), the process mean moves to an out-of-control condition in which a significant fraction of non-conforming units is produced. The efficiency of the proposed mathematical model is evaluated by a numerical example, and then the sensitivity of the proposed model to important inputs is analysed. Finally, a comparative study based on the Taguchi design approach is given to confirm the capability of the proposed model to achieve remarkable cost savings.
