Services
Consulting on the determination of potential optimizations in the new product development process, primarily with regard to product development budgeting, quality and time invested in product development
Key Areas
Module concepts, standardization, complexity and variant management, benchmarking, design-to-customer and design-to-cost
- Planning of module concepts for a car cockpit for use in several vehicle models and variants: maximum uniformity of cockpit components in areas not perceived by the customer (substructure), identical production and assembly methods, optimum proportion of standard components and deliberate product differentiation in top priority areas visible to the customer. This results in a significant reduction in the cost of product development and production, also shortening development time. It also becomes possible to improve product quality markedly. Innovations can be channeled into individual modules, even across several models.
- Potential can be freed up in all industries, even with products covering many variants of highly complex products: household appliances, furniture, computer and multimedia hardware, but also in the field of software or services.
