Dr Newnes
is Head of Costing Research within the Department of Mechanical
Engineering. Her research focuses on
through life costing from concept design through to the in-service/in-use
phases. The sectors/application areas
for her activities include; aerospace, defence, medical device design,
modelling uncertainty in through life costing, modelling in-service costs and
trade-off analysis between specification and cost. She is an investigator on two major
Innovative Manufacturing Research Centres; the Innovative Design and
Manufacturing Research Centre at the University of Bath and the Innovative
electronics Manufacturing Research Centre.
Typical
industrial linked projects, which illustrate her current research include;
·
Costing
for Avionic Through life Availability (CATA)
·
Uncertainty
in Through Life Costing.
·
In-Service
Cost Estimating feedback to the concept design cost modelling process
·
Using
Taguchi techniques to optimise product specification and cost.
·
Modelling
and managing uncertainty in the bidding process for in-service contracts –
predicting the probability of winning the contract, probability of profit and
expected profit.
