24% Savings by Reducing Corrugated Tubing and Switching to Automotive Tape
Kontakt +49 2408 9377736 Initial Situation An OEM for mobile working machines consistently used corrugated tubing for mechanical protection in all cable sets—even in areas where this was not technically necessary, based on old design guidelines. Impacts High material consumption Laborious pre-assembly and manual finishing Complicated logistics due to multiple tube lengths and variants Analyse […]
Case Study 3: 38% Production Cost Reduction by Reducing Variant Diversity
Kontakt +49 2408 9377736 Initial Situation A customer in special vehicle construction produced small batches for various end customers—each with individual features. The result: a multitude of cable harness variants—over 40 variants for essentially the same vehicle platform. Production faced long setup times, complex inventory management, and frequent picking errors. Manufacturing costs soared — despite […]
41% Savings by Choosing Commercial Connectors
An international machine builder asked us to help reduce the unit cost of a modular control system. Series production had started, but cable assembly costs were disproportionately high—mainly due to costly industrial connectors.
Case Study: 27% Cost Reduction through Cost Down Engineering in Cable Assembly
An automotive supplier tasked us with reducing the production costs of an existing high-voltage cable set. The product was already in series production, but margins were shrinking due to rising raw material prices. A new calculation was not feasible internally — so technical savings were required.
Cost Down Engineering – with Substance
Everyone talks about cost optimisation—but anyone who’s truly involved in development knows: cost down isn’t an Excel trick, it’s real engineering skill.
