Abstract/Summary: This article consists of a cost analysis for the production of a main cinematic chain for a drilling and milling machine (for a production of one piece). For this we followed the steps of the economic value analyze as like: establishing functions for all parts of the assembly, finding out the usage value of each function, by giving marks (0, 1 and 2) from comparing every two functions, calculating the costs of the materials used and the manufacturing process, by the technology used to obtain each part. We considered that all technological processes would be done using numerical control machines. Starting with the necessary costs that are required for the production of the same cinematic chain using classical machines, we are going to compare these costs with the ones we get by using numerical control machines, for the same production unit of one piece.
