Expand Your Sphere of Influence by Extending Your Cost Engineering Expertise to the Entire Product Team
It’s a fact. No matter what industry you are in, or what company you work for, Cost Engineering departments are always understaffed and underfunded. We’ve seen scenarios at major global manufacturers where there are thousands of product designers and a team of 20-30 cost engineers trying mightily to keep up with the flow of new product designs. We get it, you need help.
Put simply, automation is the answer to your problems. Instead of evaluating one part at a time, what if you could analyze hundreds, even thousands of new part designs at once. Set up a batch run, go home, eat your dinner, go to bed, come back the next morning and your results are waiting for you. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well it’s not.
And, that’s not the only benefit digital manufacturing simulation can bring to Cost Engineers; whether you are on a large team, or if you are part of a 2 person team at a machining shop trying to keep up with new quote requests from your customers. For years and years, the manufacturing and cost analysis process has consisted of designers and engineers throwing a new design over the wall with only days left until product launch and now you are under the gun to analyze a complex design with not nearly enough time to get it done. What if, you could project your cost expertise across the company so that the designers and engineers – the folks responsible for creating cost – had the capability to a first order analysis of manufacturability and eliminate some of the more obvious problems before they ever got to you. Again, impossible you say? With Digital Manufacturing Simulation software this is a reality that you can achieve.
Your underfunded and understaffed cost departments consistently try to keep pace with product designers that are 10x or more the size of their department. And while expectations to reduce costs for the company increases, there is still a heavy reliance on outdated cost estimation technology and homegrown costing systems to meet growing demands. It’s about time cost engineers had a tool of their own.
Bring Your Cost Engineering Team into the Future of Manufacturing
Your design and sourcing teams can benefit from the expertise that Cost Engineers bring to the table. As part of the software deployment team, you get to set the rules and constraints that will ensure high quality design practices that eliminate obvious manufacturability errors that should never make it to the cost engineering team
Here’s how it works:
Start by checking in your 3D CAD model to the PLM system you’re already using.
Here’s how it works:
米6体育 automatically costs the model and identifies specific features of the design that are difficult or expensive to manufacture.
Here’s how it works:
You’ve got mail! The cost engineer and the designer both get notified that there’s a potential cost or manufacturability problem.
Here’s how it works:
Designers and cost engineers can collaborate within 米6体育 to investigate issues and review design guidance to optimize for manufacturability and cost right from the start.
Here’s how it works:
Your product managers can see where each design is in its lifecycle and how different designs align with cost targets.
Here’s how it works:
If the part is outsourced, then the 米6体育 estimate can support sourcing negotiations for current or NPI parts.
Here’s how it works:
When needed, cost engineers can also support strategic sourcing with 米6体育’s bulk costing to batch process thousands of parts and isolate any outliers where a should cost estimate doesn’t match what the company is paying for a part, providing even more cost-saving opportunities for the cost engineer to address proactively.
Here’s how it works:
Cost engineers get the recognition they deserve in helping to meet cost targets and getting products to market faster.
