Cost process
design
Optimal product and manufacturing costs are the result of sustainable and consistent end-to-end cost processes within the company.
It starts in the design phase, goes on through the development phase, the tender/award process to potential suppliers, the industrialization, the production phase, with product updates and changes through to the supply of spare parts. During every phase it is important to keep costs firmly under control and thus ensure the cost efficiency and profitability of the company. I can establish this consistent end-to-end process in your business and thus ensure your long-term sustainable competitiveness.

Product Influence in the Design and Development Phase
With my partners and my network of experts, we can evaluate your product designs in terms of cost transparency and work together to develop suggestions for product optimization. Are you interested in the product cost structures of your competitors? If the product is available on the market, we will support you by creating a detailed cost comparison of your product compared to your competitors’ and, together with you, developing levers for your product optimization.

Tender/Award Process – Comparison of Supplier Bids – Change Management
I can support you in making your suppliers' bids and value creation processes transparent and comparing them with your own target costing approaches. Together we can generate cost reduction levers for negotiation discussions with potential suppliers. The method, the process and the transparency in the tender/award process ensure that the initial award, change management and, if necessary, the spare parts phase are secured in terms of costs. Both together build the basis for a fair, honest and trusting cooperation with your suppliers for you and your company.
Based on my many years of extensive experience in the
automotive industry, I can help you to design your cost
processes effectively and efficiently.
