Project Plan: Cost Saving Model for Rob's Classic Car - ACC610

This project plan outlines the development of a cost-saving model for Rob's Classic Car, a specialized showroom for Ford Cortinas and Escorts. The rationale is to minimize direct and indirect costs associated with vehicle restoration. The model aims to provide cost estimation, client quotations, and revenue-generating opportunities. It analyzes overhead costs related to direct labor and indirect productive work, highlighting the difference between estimated and actual job costs. The model consists of identification, documentation, data, and workings pages, incorporating raw data and assumptions for standard Ford Escorts and Cortinas. It includes details on direct material costs, labor rates, and overhead expenses. The plan also addresses variance analysis and limitations, such as focusing on standard components and assumptions based on research and manipulated data. Desklib provides a platform for students to access similar solved assignments and past papers.
