<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an order receiver to calculate an estimate and a delivery date while designing a product simultaneously with a request of the estimate of a product to inform an orderer. <P>SOLUTION: The orderer 3 requests the estimate of product manufacturing to the order receiver 5. The order receiver 5 creates a three-dimensional form figure V from a three-dimensional drawing of a product. The three-dimensional form figure V is divided into a plurality of parts so as to allow machining to be properly carried out. A development elevation of each part is created. A material cost, a blank machining cost, or the like are calculated from the development elevation. A bending process is determined from each development elevation. A bending time and bending cost are calculated from the bending process. Thereafter, the parts are assembled to produce the product. A welding cost, a painting cost, an assemble cost and the like are calculated from the product. The lead time or the like of the product manufacturing is reduced by informing the orderer of the delivery data and the estimate from the costs and the time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
