Abstract
An economic model for raw material selection is presented and a case a nalysis is given. The model considers two decision factors: initial ra w material cost and additional manufacturing costs incurred due to ina ppropriateness of raw material quality. This additional manufacturing cost may include items such as: extra operator cost, extra machine cos t and extra quality cost.
