| Contents: Definition of the discipline engineering economy considering the social (macro) as well as the single company (micro) level. Basic engineering economy concepts and models in the areas of 1) production theory (the possible or potential production methods), 2) theory of costs and marketing (the relations between enterprise and markets), 3) theory of optimisation (the selection of plans for production), 4) theory of investment (the evaluation of long-term decisions) and 5) cost accounting/calculation (imputed costs, cost distribution). This includes a discussion of partial and total models, the planning and decision making process, general problems of engineering economy, and model and method premises. In order to illustrate by example, the solution of typical engineering economy problems is part of the lectures on the topics 1 to 5. |
