 Cost Event
Foreword:
In real life, preparing an accurate bill of materials and cost accounting gives Engineers clarity on the number
of components used, time taken for production, and calculation of cost per part. Such classification allows for
control of cost and ascertaining the profitability of processes which in turn helps make strategic decisions to
manufacture parts more efficiently.
The BAJA SAEINDIA’s cost event is an effort to put students through the same thought process and help students
learn the nuances of cost accounting and the benefits of maintaining a bill of materials in the product
development process.

Objective:
Cost is one of the most critical aspects of any commercial entity but the event here is to not only report
the most optimum cost of the component in the prototype or production stage but instead focus on how well
the team understands what has gone into their part and applying their learning of procurement and
manufacturing techniques to optimize the cost, labor, time, material wastage and various overhead costs.

Cost Event consists of two related sections:

1. Cost Report: The cost report provides all the background information to verify the vehicle’s actual cost
and also if the teams want to present any design features or fabrication processes that are innovative
or are expected to result in significant cost savings.
2. Prototype Cost: The prototype cost is the actual cost incurred in the fabrication of the vehicle and the
points related thereto.

Cost Report (Required Submission):

The Cost Report may contain a maximum of Three sections:
Report Section 1 - Overview (Required):
This year, Cost overview submission is compulsory for all the teams. It is intended to allow each team to
point out, and briefly comment on, any design features or fabrication processes that are innovative or are
expected to result in significant cost savings. Teams may also use the overview to explain items or
processes that might appear to be discrepancies within the report. The overview section is limited to a
maximum of four (4) pages. This should be included as part of the Cost Documentation (.pdf) file.

Report Section 2 - Cost Documentation:

This section includes copies of receipts, invoices, price tags, catalogue pages, online prices, or other
documentation, to substantiate the costs of the parts and materials of any item costing more than Rs.200.
Cost documentation must be at full retail Indian prices. The use of foreign receipts, and purchases from
discount sites such as Craig's List, eBay, company brochure/pricelist or junk yards are not allowed. The
report is expected to be comprehensive, well-documented, truthful, and accurate.
 Report Section 3 – Engineering drawings:
This section includes the Engineering drawings (2D) of the components which are fabricated by the team.
The drawing should consist of 3 basic views and important dimensions. The purpose of engineering
drawing is to check the understanding of teams for optimum raw material sizing and manufacturing
process selection. The drawing report should be composed sub-system-wise as given in the cost report
template.

Prototype Cost (Required Submission):

Costing Sheets:
The core of the report is the series of costing sheets. This section must contain the one-page summary
sheet broken up into the individual subsystems. A separate ‘ALL OEM sheet’ will contain all the procured
components except bearings and fasteners (bearings should be included in their respective sub-system
and all the fasteners should be included in the ‘Fasteners’ sheet). Each subsystem needs an individual
subassembly sheet which will include the fabricated parts.
Note:
 Vehicle Assembly Labor cost is for the labor it takes to assemble a subassembly to the frame.
 The sub-system assembly time is the time it takes to assemble all the parts in that assembly
together.
The team can download the costing sheet template from the BAJA SAEINDIA Forum. Using online platforms
such as Google Sheets / SharePoint may lead to errors. Hence teams should strictly use the MS Office Excel
Desktop app in offline mode to edit the Cost report template.

Refer to the instructions given in the costing sheet on how to fill the cost sheet.

OEM Component cost library:

 This year in the cost event, teams must use the cost of the OEM components mentioned in the cost
library.
 If any OEM component used by the team is not listed in the library, then the team shall fill up the
Google form released by BAJA SAEINDIA and provide the cost of that particular OEM Component with
appropriate bills in the required period. The team can fill out the Google form multiple times if 2 or
more OEM components are not listed in the library.
 If the component is already listed in the Cost library, then the team should not fill out the Google form
even if the price available at the team's end for any component is less than the price mentioned in the
library.
 The new cost report template with an updated OEM component cost library will be released at a later
stage.
 OEM cost will be automatically pulled in all OEM sheets.

Google form link: https://bit.ly/OEMComponentCost2024

Deadline: 29th September 2023, 11:59 pm IST

List of OEM Components strictly to be used from the Cost library:

 Suspension: Shock absorbers.
 Drive: Tires & Rims.
 Brakes: Calipers, Master cylinder.
 mBAJA Drivetrain: CVT, Engine, Fuel tank
 eBAJA Drivetrain: Battery HV, Motor, Controller, Throttle pedal

–
Note:
 Bills / Invoices of the above-mentioned OEM components are required.
 If any of the above components are designed and manufactured by the team, then it will not be
considered an OEM component.

For the OEM Component listed above, if any deviation is found between the cost mentioned in the cost
library and the cost given by the team, then the team will be penalized.
 This document should not be modified from its current form. This includes password protection and
embedding macros. Teams will receive zero (0) points for cost sheet evaluation if the report is in the
incorrect format or the files have been modified.

Penalties:
 If the judges find that the costing of some components is inadequate and unjustified where a team has
done some manipulation to reduce cost, the cost of the component whose costing is wrong will be made
3 times the actual cost projected by the teams and will be added to the summary cost.
Disclaimer: The cost of the above-mentioned OEM components in the library are indicative figures to have
uniformity amongst all the teams and should not be considered as an actual quote from the vendor / supplier.
The Supplier / Vendor names listed in the Cost library should not be considered as recommended vendors
from BAJA SAEINDIA.

Cost Component Categories:

Teams must put items that are specified in the correct component categories and subcategories or
the items will not be considered. See the Cost Template for more details on component categories.

 Sales Event
Foreword:

The Sales Presentation Event presents students with the opportunity to gain real-world experience in taking a
concept proposal and presenting it for support, be it funding or otherwise. This is a crucial skill because all
students will eventually need to present their ideas to the boardroom and compete with other organizations.

Its main goal is to provide pupils with an Entrepreneurial mindset so they may build their own ATVs. Students'
presentation abilities, creative thinking, managerial perspective, and business aptitude fundamentals like
forecasting, financing, marketing, management, etc. are tested in this engaging event, which also assesses their
knowledge of technical skills and hypotheses.

Objective:
The objective of the Sales Presentation is for the “Company” to convince the “Investors” of an investment firm
to invest in the company’s BAJA SAEINDIA vehicle design to put it into production at the rate of 4000 units per
year.

This "Company" should plan to organize its stall at an upcoming Trade Fair where it will be required to plan the
complete setup of its stall, promotional ideas, logistics, etc., and showcase its new concept and technological
ideas. (Short pitch for convincing both buyers and investors at trade fair)

Furthermore, the company is required to outline a mitigation strategy that ensures its continued sustainability
even in the event of encountering an unexpected scenario.

Here the “Company”, is the team, seeking funds from investors; the “Investors” are the judges. Teams should
assume themselves as various executives representing various verticals of a corporate entity including Finance,
Production, Marketing, Engineering, etc., and thus may not all be engineers.

The business plan of the Company should relate to the prototype of the buggy they have built for the
competition although the quality of the actual buggy would not be a part of the evaluation.
