You guessed right!
cost = They assign several Engineering teams to design something. The winning team is the one who comes up with the cheapest solution that will in use hold up until just after the warranty has expired.
functionality = The design suites the needs of the Company.
serviceability = The Item or Vehicle made so you have to take it to the Dealer to be serviced because no one else can or wants to service it.
manufacturability = The ability for the part/s to be made easily in a 3rd world country (politically correct = Newly Developing Countries).
