Details:
We optimize the manufacturing costs of your products, taking into account current and future customer needs. Yes we can!""
Product doctor, technology expert, cost optimizer, yield enhancer... Our customers have already given us many creative names. To make them fit for their competitive environment, we examine and analyze their products along the value chain and scrutinize all costs.
The world of our service offering is quickly explained. We identify cost drivers, create cost transparency and make your existing products fitter for the market.
Manufacturing companies value us for:
- an agile team of product, design and manufacturing experts
- 30 proven methods and processes
- software developed in-house
- a lot of know-how from more than 22 years
- a healthy pinch of shirt-sleevedness and down-to-earthness
We know our customers' world inside out. And also their "pain points". Two things are always in short supply: time and money. For a product to succeed in the marketplace, both components must be used optimally. We are dedicated to the mission of increasing your profitability by detecting any waste and making your products future-proof and competitive.
We are experts in cost-oriented product development that evaluates the benefits for end users. We work together with you to optimize manufacturing costs. We evaluate production materials, production processes as well as the product design and the technology used - always in close cooperation with the disciplines of sales, product management, design, purchasing, production and quality assurance.
Optimisation of production costs for products in series production
Potential Ø 11 %
Our focus is on lowering production costs in order to improve the short and medium-term operating result. We work intensively with the sales, product management, design/development, purchasing and production departments in order to exploit the greatest possible potential.
We proceed in three stages:
- Scoping: We identify the leverage with the greatest savings potential.
- Analysis of potential: We develop tangible measures to optimise production costs in terms of material, design and process.
- Implementation: We implement these measures together with you and implement them in the product management, design, purchasing and production departments.
Cost-oriented product development
Potential Ø 28 %
We combine the needs of your customers with production cost targets. We apply methods such as design thinking, value analysis and DFA. We ensure a cost-optimised product structure with the benefits for the customer in mind.
With the consistent application of target costing, we create transparency and fact-based decision-making tools for the entire development process. This allows you to keep production costs under control right from the development stage and, at the same time, integrate newly acquired knowledge into your standard workflows.
Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing has increasingly established itself as a technology in recent years. In addition to the conventional applications in prototype construction, the process is also used in after-sales, tool construction, individualised series production (medical technology) and in series production of small parts with unit numbers of up to 1000.
For many of our customers the question is whether the introduction of such technology is beneficial. We evaluate your parts range quickly and accurately to assess whether a change will pay off immediately or strategically when it comes to the costs of implementing 3D printing technology. For the potential we identify, we develop tailor-made concepts for implementation in cooperation with you.
Organisational Development Cost Engineering
We want to sustainably optimise your product costs and set you up securely for the future. We do this in a systematic manner and also consider the interaction and integration of your individual departments, such as sales, product management, design/development, purchasing and production. We develop the necessary know-how in your company and enable you to act independently with newly acquired knowledge - with the help of technical specialists as well as methodology and technology experts. The organisational development is supported by our school of excellence, in which the necessary know-how is developed in all departments. We will act as a mentor and provide specific training for all the necessary skills and methods.
