ACCA考试

4) Maturity主要：材料人工等，产品区别化来提高竞争力

Sales volume： Stable high volume

Marketing and distribution economies are achieved

Price competition and product differentiation will start to erode

profitability as new customers are limited

5) Decline主要：退役成本，或改良产品来延长生命周期

Sales volume： Falling demand

Product is phasing out，经济效益下滑 marketing costs are cut in this stage

A replacement product needs to have been developedR&D)

Extra development costs to refine the model/function to extend life cycle

Decommissioning cost退役成本，产品退出市场

重要考点Benefits优势表现：

1、考虑了预期寿命内的外部因素external factors

2、考虑所有成本包括R&D费用，进而在设计时就考虑了成本降低问题

3、适用于当前的competitive environment，现代产品生命周期都较短，大部分费用 a large portion of costs 发生在先期，即研发和产生引发市场阶段。

4、鼓励长期回报的政策，譬如若产品生命5年，这5年全部盈利多少，则有多少奖励。鼓励工程师和生产经理更多从大局考虑，而非短期和赢利性。
