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.

What’s often forgotten

Cost reduction doesn’t start with purchasing—it starts in design.

Good cost down engineering understands the bill of materials, manufacturing, assembly, and the customer.

80% of costs are set during the development phase. If you don’t tackle costs there, you’re saving in the wrong place.

Our experience

Maintain function, ensure quality—but consistently question material use, installation space, and the variety of variants.

Involve suppliers early: they often know the simpler solutions.

Use standards rather than custom solutions at any cost.

Result

  • Lower parts costs, more stable processes, and products ready for the market. And incidentally: less chaos with changes and complaints.
  • Cost down doesn’t mean cheap—but thought through.

How do you approach this topic? Do you have set cost-down processes, or is it more of a “firefighting action” when margins are under pressure?
