Design
CHALLENGES
-
Design Engineers lack timely cost visibility into design decisions or cost drivers.
-
They can't measure their performance against cost targets during the design process.
-
It's time consuming to compare the cost of design alternatives so it often doesn't happen.
HOW WE CAN HELP
-
Establishing and Meeting Cost Targets - What should your products cost? What could they cost?
-
Trade-off Analysis - PCC can quickly generate cost estimates for multiple design approaches. Costly designs can be modified or abandoned sooner ensuring the most economical design gets released.
-
Early Visibility into Cost Drivers - Using aPriori Professional, PCC is able to identify design elements that drive cost. This enables cost-conscious design decisions.
-
DFx Workshops - PCC facilitates Design For “x” (DFx) workshops to attack "x" ... cost, assembly, manufacturability, assembly, reliability, etc.
