What is cost estimate ? all définitions

Cost estimation is the process of developing a well-defined relationship between a cost object and its cost driver for the purpose of predicting the cost. The cost predictions are used in each of the management functions: Strategic Management: Cost estimation is used to predict costs of alternative activities, predict financial impacts of alternative strategic choices, and to predict the costs of alternative implementation strategies.

Planning and Decision Making: Cost estimation is used to predict costs so that management can determine the desirability of alternative options and to budget expenditures, profits, and cash flows.

Management and Operational Control: Cost estimation is used to develop cost standards, as a basis for evaluating performance. Product and Service Costing: Cost estimation is used to allocate costs to products and services or to charge users for jointly incurred costs.

Composition and manufacturing of concrete

Function of composition of cement

Lime forms nearly two-third (2/3) of the cement. Therefore sufficient quantity of the lime must be in the raw materials for the manufacturing of cement. Its proportion has an important effect on the cement. Sufficient quantity of lime forms di- calcium silicate and tri-calcium silicate in the manufacturing of cement. Lime in excess, causes the cement to expand and disintegrate.
