nnnnREDUCE PRODUCT COSTS AND IMPROVE PRODUCT MARGINS
nnnnWindchill Cost allows manufacturers to track both
nnnntarget and actual cost, and provide real-time cost
nnnnvisibility throughout the product development
nnnnlifecycle. Now you can efficiently track the cost of
nnnnall parts and products, analyze the cost impact
nnnnof design alternatives, and empower users to
nnnnensure products are launched at target cost. The
nnnnresult: optimized profit margins.
nnnnWhile product cost is a major concern for manufacturers, the
nnnnmajority of companies struggle to accurately track, measure, and
nnnncommunicate it beginning early in the product development
nnnnprocess, where cost decisions have the greatest impact.
nnnnThis difficulty is due to the complexity introduced by frequent
nnnnchanges to the bill-of-material (BOM), part design, and
nnnnsuppliers. While there are specific costing methods and
nnnntools that generate data to help estimate cost, they are
nnnnusually relevant only at select stages of the product lifecycle.
nnnnFurthermore, these tools are disconnected from the actual
nnnnBOM that is managed in key enterprise business systems,
nnnnsuch as PLM (product lifecycle management).
nnnnConsequently, changes either to the BOM or to the approved
nnnnmanufacturers list, for example, are typically tracked manually,
nnnnand the results are not readily visible or accessible to
nnnnengineers when they're making decisions regarding new parts
nnnnand suppliers.
nnnnAn efficient product development process relies on automatically
nnnnincorporating product changes in cost analysis. This approach
nnnnnot only creates accurate, up-to-date cost reports, but also
nnnnallows cost analysis to be performed on every product design
nnnnchange and product configuration.
nnnnEnter Windchill Cost-a solution that enables industry best
nnnnpractices and delivers real-time product cost estimates
nnnnthroughout the entire product development lifecycle. Windchill
nnnnCost delivers a number of important benefits: it makes product
nnnncost analytics an integral part of the standard product
nnnndevelopment process; it complements existing cost-estimate
nnnntool investments by utilizing different cost models for parts
nnnnand assemblies based upon lifecycle stage; and it rolls up
nnnncost information for different BOM configurations. Above all,
nnnnWindchill Cost empowers users to make smarter decisions to
nnnnensure that products meet all cost targets.
