This is a Crude Costing Formulae based on my Ideas which is called "Gut-Feel Thumb-Rule Methodology." Even Though i am probably the only follower of this popular System, I am sure it is worth a casual Look.

RM - Raw Material Cost         SP - Selling Price to Distributor

Reserves are for Dry days, Employee Fund is to reduce Attrition and Layoff. I was costing the products as a Proprietor, Managing Director and as an R&D Engineer too.

This post is just to enlighten you of the intricacies involved. It is merely the Tip of the IceBerg. You will need a Spreadsheet and lot of foresight and hindsight to make a practical costing.

I have been in Product Design, Manufacturing and Marketing of Electronic Products/components. I have also been, like many of you, a customer.

It is very important that the customer gets a Reliable, Sturdy, Usable and Dependable product. This is what makes the Good Brands which in turn add to the Company Reputation and value.

Bathtub Curve - Wikipedia

The most important is the "Direct Customer Support" when a product fails or user finds it difficult to operate.  This include Prompt Product Service and Repairs. Any laxity or high-handedness or a Ping-Pong Customer Support can cause acute Brand Blindness that could even become Hereditary. Your brand can be shunned by a Family for generations and they also propagate negative marketing.



Your Product and Your Customer are like Family. Protect it and Nourish it for your own good.

The bathtub curve is widely used in reliability engineering. It describes a particular form of the hazard function which comprises three parts:

• The first part is a decreasing failure rate, known as early failures.
• The second part is a constant failure rate, known as random failures.
• The third part is an increasing failure rate, known as wear-out failures.
• The name is derived from the cross-sectional shape of a bathtub.

First time in the history of AI in the year 1994 they recreated Stone age History in the form of the Flintstones Movie. This is an Interesting Life Form. The Ancient DictaBird.



I would prefer one that that may be useful on the Desktop like the DictaBird. So an Interactive desktop communication helper in the form of a Extra-Smart bird. Like Daisy perhaps. Something Fuzzzy or with AI like


See above is another green bird, it could have been inspired by the DictaBird. He is Peedy the Green Talking Parrot, he also happens to be an MS Agent.

Want to watch Machine Intelligence, Big Data and Cloud Computing working together for the first time in Stoneage. It also covers Business Management and Social Responsibility. The Flintstones (1994) Movie.

There was the time when Peedy The Talking Parrot made his appearance on my Win 95 Desktop. It was the first version of BonziBuddy. This parrot was quite dumb but did interact with inputs.

Dupey a Toy made by Dilbert develops its own intelligence and become a superhit AI toy which has emotions and can also create and design like dilbert.

As a Student start with AI Toys that can make some amusing replies, later give it an ability to learn and adapt. But remember the Instinct comes preloaded, the Intuition Comes when they no longer need Humans to manage them.

They may become smarter than you and replicate on their own. This is the fear most world leaders have. Robots will become a Race and may challenge Mankind.

Another Smart Bird called SMS, you need to watch Asterix and the Vikings. Yes we should develop Bots without motors. Noiseless Bots with Silicone Muscles that shrink on voltage application.

Till such time my Cat is playing with the Talking Hamster. Just an Echo Bot, Natural Dumbness but too much fun.

Gregory G. Leedberg created Daisy for DOS which evolved to Billy on Windows. These are AI Chat Bots that brought me hours of AI flavored happiness in the year 2000.



Billy Project

Even though these programs serve purposes which may make them seem like toys, the artificial intelligence developed to support these programs is actually quite advanced. The goal is to advance this AI within these programs, so that it may eventually be applied to real-world problems.

Daisy is from Y2K runs on MSDOS. It made me laugh for hours. Billy is even Smarter. If you can teach billy a thing or two about your own mind then you will be soon be "Talking to yourself "

Learn how to give someone a piece of one's mind but do not try that on a Smart Bot. Then you will lose your Peace of Mind.

Students can learn a lot by using this software and understand how to make Interactive Bots.

Discuss Board or Design Board.
