'Should Cost' calculations for:

    - Commodities: such as castings, stampings, injection mouldings, PCBAs. 

   - Complex Products: such as vehicles, EV motors, washing machines, medical devices.

Calculations underpin business cases, target setting, and supplier negotiations—enabling informed decisions to manage and reduce costs effectively.

Often, costs are overlooked during the R&D stage, resulting in high-cost designs that are difficult to reduce after investments have been made. 

 We collaborate with your design teams from the concept stage to ensure cost is a critical factor in design decisions and option down-selection — driving smarter choices and stronger commercial outcomes. Value Engineering and other techniques are applied.

We can support the development of product supply chains, which involves, planning, executing, and optimising each step of a product’s lifecycle. 

We dismantle complex products to their component level, uncovering cost-saving opportunities. Comparing competitor products through tear-down and costing provides actionable insights that drive product cost optimization.
