I’ve run into a problem recently: when working on designs, I often hear the statement that, without considering technical feasibility, \"use this option because it’s much cheaper than that one.\" Isn’t this a bad approach? Technology should be purely about technology; costs should be handled by project management or procurement teams.

Reduce costs while meeting design requirements and make use of existing inventory – that makes sense, right?

This must first take into account the requirements of the manufacturing process, and only then cost. There is a hierarchy to it; it is unwise to simply lower the technical requirements for manufacturing processes and focus only on costs. Thank you!

Under the given conditions, cost certainly needs to be taken into account

Focusing only on the manufacturing process without considering costs is nothing but reckless behavior. However, the rules that must be followed should still be observed, such as safety facilities and safety factors, etc

Costs must be taken into account; the overall cost is a major issue. A high-cost investment lasts long, while a low-cost one has a short lifespan – which one to choose?

Safety first, quality second, cost third

Costs must be taken into consideration; the overall cost is the principle of an excellent design firm and the hallmark of skilled designers. It’s not easy for anyone to make money.

Meet the design requirements first, and then consider the cost!
