Value analysis in the area of mechanical engineering

General characteristics
In the area of mechanical engineering small to medium quantities generate high development and engineering costs. On account of the worldwide conformity concerning quality and technical standards, the competitive advantage rapidly decreases. Due to a critical financial situation, purchase decisions are commonly taken based on product prices. Therefore, companies are permanently confronted with analyzing its own competitive situation as well as with screening its own product portfolio for possible savings. Engineering and manufacturing processes as well as entrepreneurial aspects need to be considered in regard of rising production costs.

Challenge
Mechanical engineering companies are confronted with short time periods and excessive framework changes. In order to maintain or strengthen a company’s competitiveness, the following points describe measures for achieving cost optimizations:

• continuous improvement to maintain technical innovation leadership
• constant assembly- and manufacturing’s cost reduction
• constant procurement costs' screen and adjustment
• Implementation of a coordination management for analyzing and realizing short-, middle-, and long- term savings.

BERODE competence
Our Value Engineering approach involves an overall well-approved and customizable concept that supports the achievement of cost optimizations. Therefore, we carry out traditional value analyses, costs- and function analyses as well as supplier workshops.
