This thesis deals with two different manufacturing technologies of an insulated stator package, whereby the production costs are the main focus. Currently used manufacturing processes contain a substantial amount of manual assembling, which is no longer optimal, due to increased production numbers. For this reason a question comes to mind, if a substitution of manufacturing technology makes sense. Stator insulation can be made with automated overmolding process, which has the potential to substitute both laser welding and manual insulating of stator package, that are currently used. We analysed existing production processes with the system of pre-determined times Work-Factor and time recording method, whereby work of multiple workers was analysed. Acquired data was used to determine process capacity, which is the main factor in production costs calculations. Capacity of alternate production technology was determined intuitively, based on experience with similar products. We found out, that the production costs are lower with alternative manufacturing technology. For implementation of the alternate manufacturing technology in production, an investment in new working resources has to be done. That investment refunds at 20000 produced units or 2 years at current production rate.
