Event description

Efficient product design means maximising customer benefits while keeping costs under control. In this seminar, participants learn how to integrate value engineering and cost engineering methods into product development in order to systematically identify cost potential and increase product value in a targeted manner. Practical case studies are used to show how products can be developed economically and in line with market requirements, from the concept phase to series production. At the same time, the course highlights methods that can also help to maximise benefits and reduce costs for products already on the market.

Topic areas

  • Fundamentals: Product cost breakdown
  • Value analysis (value engineering) – functions, benefits, customer requirements
  • Function and product analyses
  • Target cost control chart
  • Target costing
  • Strategies for reducing costs and increasing the value of products
  • Case studies from industrial practice and interactive exercises to support direct application in the company
