Project Manager: Okay , now now we have to mm to estimate uh the cost okay . So I prepare an Excel sh uh an Excel sheet . Um well we are going to calculate the production costs . We should we should be below twelve point five . So I already uh put some pu some numbers here , okay . We are going to go through  so this is the number the mm number of components we need for this thing . So it appears that there were things that we didn't thought about . Uh and also things that I uh I d I forget to uh to put like solar cells .
User Interface: Well we decided against the solar cells so Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Oh yeah finally we say no .
Industrial Designer: Solar cells , yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah , we said no to that .
Project Manager: Okay so let's let's go let's go let go through all the lines . So hand dynamo . This something we didn't thought about . But User Interface: You mean , charging it by shaking the banana .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: I think rechargeable batteries will take care of the power thing .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Okay so we we stick to battery , one .
Industrial Designer: To bring the cost Yeah .
Project Manager: No kinetic also . I don't I don't see the difference between kinetic and dynamo .
User Interface: Well maybe dynamo is like you have to actually Project Manager: Ah you have to ah okay I see so kinetic is really uh shaking the banana .
User Interface: Marketing: S
User Interface: Yeah .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Crazy . Okay . So those banana is falling . Let's go ahead . So we we st only have one for battery . Uh then for electronics um so I didn't put anything for the .
Industrial Designer: So we have the regular chip on the print , which is one .
Project Manager: Yeah . Yeah .
Industrial Designer: And that's it .
Project Manager: Okay . No so we hin
Industrial Designer: And we have sample speaker .
Project Manager: Yeah so one .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . Yeah . the cost of that is very high .
Project Manager: Ooh ye ye ye the cost is increasing . So we are User Interface: Well actually that that no that sample speaker is not we we're not using that , we're just using the the very beep simple beep ,
Project Manager: The beep .
User Interface: that s that sample thing is like the voice recording and everything .
Industrial Designer: Uh-huh .
Project Manager: That's what Industrial Designer: Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm .
Project Manager: Okay so I'll remove it .
User Interface: So Yeah .
Project Manager: S
User Interface: I say that Yeah .
Project Manager: So don't we need a Industrial Designer: And we have sev
Project Manager: Oh there is no listing for r radio frequency thing .
User Interface: Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: So Industrial Designer: So we we'll put some extras , if there is something .
Project Manager: Yeah maybe . We'll see later .
User Interface: Mm .
Project Manager: Okay so in for the case um I put single curved .
Industrial Designer: Okay . To reduce the cost , it's okay .
User Interface: Well , wait a second ,
Project Manager: Because we have two things .
User Interface: no , it's it's double curved , it's got a c , it's uh Industrial Designer: Oh it's got all the directions
Project Manager: No .
Industrial Designer: so don't worry . User Interface: Well d yeah it's monotonic but
Marketing: Industrial Designer: It's got a direction . User Interface: it's got but if you hold it if you hold it that way that's two curved , one on this side , one on that side , but they're opposite sides .
Project Manager: Well . What a what i if I put one here .
User Interface: This is actually I mean this probably
Marketing: Actually what's the differen
User Interface: this probably actually costs more than three
Project Manager: Yeah so let's put one here in the then instead of single
User Interface: if you Industrial Designer: Okay . Okay .
Project Manager: oka all right .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So we stick to plastic , it cost nothing .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . That's right .
User Interface: Well  no didn't we say we wanted to do a rubber Project Manager: No , it's too no .
User Interface: if you drop it ?
Marketing: Too expensive .
Project Manager: It's too expensive . We're already at eleven .
User Interface: Well when okay . Well we we'll come back we'll come back and see if we can fit it in .
Project Manager: Okay so I put rubber one . Okay so special colour , yellow .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: Uh for the interface we have Industrial Designer: We don't have any push buttons .
User Interface: No , we have two push buttons .
Project Manager: We have three .
Industrial Designer: No that is a scroll wheel itself , it'll be put in that .
User Interface: Huh .
Project Manager: No no . We have two scroll , and we have three push buttons .
Industrial Designer: Ah okay , okay .
User Interface: Uh .
Industrial Designer: Okay , okay .
Project Manager: And User Interface: Okay it's gonna have to be plastic .
Marketing: Actually whe whe when you wrote regular chip you should put two , because there is another chip here .
Project Manager: No it's no chip . This is just radio frequency . Th This is no chip .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Yeah but
Industrial Designer: No . There's no chip there .
Marketing: you need Industrial Designer: It just emits the signal .
Project Manager: It's just Industrial Designer: And the receiver accepts it and that's it .
Project Manager: Yeah .
Marketing: Fo i it does nothing actually ?
Project Manager: No . Just only .
Industrial Designer: Just se sends the signal , that's it .
User Interface: It's a recharger thing and uh Project Manager: Okay w we didn't think a thought about uh integrated scroll wheel push buttons .
User Interface: Well I actually did um think about it myself but I thought you know because you could potentially you know you could be pushing it down as you scroll it for a instead of a turbo button
Project Manager: Yeah ,
User Interface: but you know the turbo button does add that extra class .
Project Manager: so Yeah .
User Interface: You know . So I mean if we're if we're over budget then maybe we could we could rethink that .
Project Manager: Okay . So no L_C_D_ , so for we have no button supplements , right ?
Industrial Designer: Yep . No .
Project Manager: Uh well in fact could we could not we consider this button as a button supplement because oh no , these are these are for colours , co and special forms , special colours and special materials .
User Interface: Yeah . No we're not Project Manager: So User Interface: we don't need anything special for the buttons .
Project Manager: Okay so we are over budget .
Industrial Designer: Yeah . So first thing which we should take care of is ,
User Interface: Make it plastic instead of rubber .
Industrial Designer: instead of rubber , let it be plastic .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: And then we're basically o on budget except for you know ten cents .
Industrial Designer: And uh that much money will be required for the base station , which is not there .
Project Manager: Yeah .
User Interface: Yeah .
Project Manager: So mayb in fact n we have to put two here
Marketing: Project Manager: because it cost nothing .
User Interface: Yeah well pl the base station is made out of m many units of plastic .
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Marketing: Industrial Designer: That's right .
Project Manager: Industrial Designer: So might be ninety centimes for the the remaining things which the cord and everything which'll go Project Manager: Exactly exactly so we have margin for that stuff .
User Interface: Does that include charging circuitry and everything ? Industrial Designer: That's right .
Project Manager: Yeah maybe . Okay good . Wha
Industrial Designer: Yeah .
Project Manager: Excellent .
User Interface: So what do we do with the extra profits ?
Project Manager: Um we'll invest in R_ and D_ .
User Interface: Okay .
Marketing: User Interface: The next fruit .
Project Manager: Yeah . So well we're under the the the cost . So we can go to through to project evaluation . Marketing: Okay so now we have a product which nobody would would buy . Would yeah , would buy .
Project Manager: Sorry ?
User Interface: No we have a product which none of us would buy . Marketing: Yeah because th th the evaluation project Project Manager: Which is different . Which is different . None of us will buy it .
User Interface: No it's people in in in Milan and uh in Paris that are gonna buy it .
Marketing: Ah would buy , yeah .
User Interface: We're n
Marketing: Massively , yeah .
User Interface: yeah . We're not in Milan or Paris .
Industrial Designer: Marketing: Yeah . Okay . Uh you have been in Milan a couple of times , so .
Project Manager: This is a battery . User Interface: Actually there were a lot of Industrial Designer: Marketing: And you said the lowest .
User Interface: Project Manager: This is what we which you can mm Industrial Designer: S Detachable battery .
Project Manager: It did yeah .
User Interface: That's 'cause I'm sick of Milan .
Marketing: Yeah , for the batteries Project Manager: Extra battery , yeah .
Industrial Designer: 

Summary: The group had a production cost of 12.5 Euros. They agreed to not add solar cells for power source nor a sample speaker instead of a simple beep. They would have one battery, two regular chips on the print, double curves which stuck to the plastic, two scroll wheels, and three push buttons. The group would not use LCD and they would have a base station that was made out of units of plastic to balance the cost.
