FCW Analysis

This document analyzes the function and cost of parts in an electric light bulb. It lists 11 parts of a glass light bulb including the glass bulb, inert gas, tungsten filament, contact wires, support wires, stem, cap, and insulation. For each part, it describes the function and assigns a cost value. It then calculates the worth of each part and the basis for keeping or eliminating each part based on its cost-worth analysis. The goal is to determine which parts are essential and which can be removed to reduce costs.
