Typical starting point of client
- Negotiations with suppliers are conducted without the client knowing about the actual production costs and cost drivers contained in the product (like material costs, manufacturing costs, indirect costs)
- Products are developed based on a merely technical specification without verifying whether or not the target costs will be achieved
- The decision whether components are bought or manufactured is often not based on reliable facts
Innovative approach
- the calculation software makes a professional calculation of product costs possible which has the following advantages:
- quick, transparent and comprehensible calculation of product costs due to an intuitive user interface
- quarterly updated and complete databases for material, factories, personnel and indirect costs
- extensive PDF report of the calculation which can be used e.g. for discussions with suppliers
- Scenarios for different production sites or different annual quantities can be simulated
Typical effect/result
- Across industries, costs for existing products are reduced by more than 20%
- By applying the software during product development, clients assure that the products are cost-optimised when entering the market and that the target costs will be achieved
