Cost and Value Engineering

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to optimize costs from the very start of production. EFESO helps you apply cost and value engineering expertise continuously and iteratively from the product definition phase through to the end of every project.

Cross-Functional Cost Optimization

Cost optimization must always be assessed on a cross-functional basis, which requires collaboration and open communication. Manufacturers need to evaluate bottom-line costs and apply these to decision-making throughout the production process.

This can potentially bring about tensions, an excessive focus on cost reduction, for example, can lead to conflicts of interest between innovation teams and other functions.

EFESO’s experts have technology and product knowledge gained from decades of experience in automotive and discrete manufacturing. We work alongside you, sharing our expertise to help you agree on cost structures with your customers and suppliers, for both small and large series production.
