What you receive
Understand the deliverables before choosing how to work together
The following deliverables can be agreed. The project brief defines their depth, quantity and verification responsibilities.
Cost reduction opportunities
Record each action, expected effect, investment and implementation condition.
How this deliverable is checked
Show savings assumptions alongside quality and performance constraints.
Improvement validation plan
Define substitute parts, process changes, samples and validation owners.
How this deliverable is checked
Give every action a validation task and pass criteria.
Results tracking log
Record projected savings, test results and production results separately.
How this deliverable is checked
Do not present projected savings as realized procurement or production savings.
Start with your current challenge
This is a useful starting point when
Situation 01 Quotes keep falling, but it is unclear where further cost improvements are possible.
Situation 02 A new product has a target price, but material, processing and assembly costs are not separated.
Situation 03 A substitute material or process looks cheaper, but quality risks and improvement costs are missing from the calculation.
Service scope and effort
Agree the scope and quotation at the depth you need
What you can engage us to do
Define materials, processing and assembly, yield loss, packaging and agreed logistics. Show one-time tooling and improvement costs separately. Pricing depends on the model, data quality, options and tracking period.
Information needed before we begin
Controlled BOM and drawings, purchasing and processing quotes, quantities, labor hours and yield, cost targets and supporting records.
Agreed according to objectives, deliverables and effort
Quoted after the scope is confirmed
Target cost management for new productsCost optimization for existing products
Choose target cost management or optimization of an existing product; pricing depends on the model, data completeness, number of options and tracking period.
We confirm workload, service period and both parties' responsibilities before issuing a formal quotation. Samples, site work and third-party services are listed separately where required.
Process and responsibilities
Every step establishes the basis for the next
01Establish the cost baseline
02Compare targets and opportunities
03Assess improvement and validation costs
04Track results on a comparable basis
Engagement boundaries
Where a full development engagement already covers basic cost control, duplicate work is deducted. Engineering changes and third-party tests are priced separately. No fixed percentage saving is promised in advance.
Agree expectations before we begin
Other questions you may have
How do we determine whether savings have been realized?
Compare the same specifications, purchase volumes, tax and shipping terms, and reporting periods. Show one-time costs and quality effects separately, and distinguish forecasts from realized savings.
How is this service accepted?
Compare specifications, quantities, tax and shipping terms, and periods on the same basis. Separate projected savings, validated savings and production results. Changes must meet the agreed quality and performance requirements.
What happens if the scope changes or information is incomplete?
We first assess how gaps or changes affect deliverables, timing and fees. They are included only after both parties agree; items outside the original scope are recorded separately.
How should information be shared and kept confidential?
Start with a summary of the product type, objectives and issues. Share detailed information after its intended use, confidentiality requirements, access scope and delivery permissions have been agreed.
Start with a brief summary
Tell us about your objectives and current challenges
Describe your current stage, main objectives and desired deliverables, then we can confirm the suitable scope and next step together.
Use the enquiry page to share a project summary. Detailed information can follow once its use and confidentiality requirements are agreed.
