Implementation of Cost Analysis and Optimization Software Tool for Electronics
Ausgangssituation / Randbedingungen
Improve product value and reduce total cost for OSRAM is a major goal of Cost-Engineering. Target is to enhance the approach of strategic cost analysis with specific technical expertise to improve product value and cost, by applying a dedicated set of cost and value levers.
Benefits for our business:
reduces material cost
provides production technology expertise
improves supplier productivity
collaborates with cross-functional partners in design optimization
The Cost Analysis and Optimization approach provides cost transparency in all details of the manufacturing process – this serves as a basis for targeted optimization of the suppliers, productivity, our product specification and help to push negotiations based on real prices instead of market prices.
Products and process costs must be evaluated in detail before starting new product proposals. This has to be done always under the consideration of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) with the support of the Cost Analysis and Optimization Software Tool which need to be implemented within that IPA Project for Electronics.
