Early Estimation of Manufacturing Costs in Mechanical Engineering



Product cost management starting from lot size 1

Efficient product cost management to reduce manufacturing costs is a key success factor in mechanical engineering. FACTON EPC creates robust and comprehensible calculations that help enterprises win and retain new business.

In mechanical and plant engineering, the challenge of lot size 1 is well known. To generate cost advantages, companies rely on modularization: Using functional components that can be repeatedly assembled into a customer- or country-specific variants, series can be produced with a higher repetition rate at reduced process costs. Higher purchasing volumes at lower purchase prices, as well as reduced one-off costs and a higher proportion of common parts, are advantages that must be exploited.
