13 Sheffield Hallam University SHU Racing I heard about SHU Racing in the first year but did not get involved until my final year I regret this because of the skills and people you meet on SHU Racing. For example everyone is keen about motor sport and racing and working on a car which will actually compete against rival university's at Silverstone is better than any other assignment Dr. Rihana Ishaq approached me during my placement year and got me interested in the cost role and general SHU racing Then adapted the cost control role into my final year project Cost control has allowed me to work with all of the different areas of the car instead of focusing on just one area

14 Sheffield Hallam University Cost Technology The vehicle was broken down into subsidiaries and then the overall £15,000 budget was separated depending on design concepts and previous years budgeting FS Budget 2008 AreaBudget (£) Chassis4000 Engine50 Suspension1500 Steering600 Brakes400 Wheels and Tyres2500 Transmission800 Body Work2000 Hoses, wires, fasteners1000 Misc.2150 Total15000

15 Sheffield Hallam University Cost Technology Each subsidiary was then responsible for feeding back any design concept costing or supplier negotiations so that the allocation of the budget could be continuously monitored Part Drawi ng No. Description Gross Value GBP Supplier Date Purchased / Carry Over Part Likelihood of Failure* Impact to Project* Overall Risk** % of Syste m % of Budge t Fabricatio n SHUF S-08- 101 Chassis Manufacture 3525.0 0 Comtec04-03-200812288.123.5 Material SHUF S-08- 101 EN14 BS4 T45 Tube 25.4mm O/D 12swg Thickness x (5.51mtrs Length) 91.93 Winged Aviation 04-03-20081222.30.6 Material SHUF S-08- 101 EN14 BS4 T45 Tube 25.4mm O/D x 14swg x (11.34mtrs Length) 197.20 Winged Aviation 04-03-20081224.91.3 Material SHUF S-08- 101 EN14 BS4 T45 Tube 25.4mm O/D 16swg x (13.19mtrs Length) 230.15 Winged Aviation 04-03-20081225.81.5 Material SHUF S-08- 101 Mild Steel Sq Tube, 25mmSq x 2mm wall x (6mtr length) 32.90 Winged Aviation 04-03-20081220.80.2 Total: 4077.1 8 101.9327.18

16 Sheffield Hallam University Qualities and skills developed and learnt Communication – Although communication is used in every day environment, the communication within SHU racing results in jobs on the car being complete Team Work – Working in a team is also a skill which is used in every day life however SHU racing pulls different students together from different backgrounds and courses because of one passion…Racing! Practical Learning – When working on the race car there is an end result, students touch, feel and breathe the race car and understanding of how a car operates is learnt and different methods of improving the performance is gained Cost – Cost control is important within all different areas of business. Budgeting, purchasing and negotiation are all important factors which meet cost control, these qualities are areas which I can use in industry
