Moderate To Extreme Cost Sensitivity
- Most designers will say they're worried about cost -- but what
they mean by that varies substantially
- Component cost is most visible to designers -- but is
sometimes the wrong thing to optimize for (discussed
later)
Design Challenges:
- Variable "cushion factor" to handle different requirements
for cost vs. product robustness with same component
database
- Life-cycle cost optimization (more on this later)
