Case Studies

Electric Vehicle (EV) motor cost optimisation project. Provided should costing support at concept, detail design and sourcing stages. 

Cost avoidance impact is in excess of 

£20 million per annum.

High value and complex systems for satellites. Our client wanted to trial cost engineering to see the impact on their cost reduction programs. Cost reduction impact was 18% worth £1.6 million per annum.

Our client hired us to perform a holistic make vs buy study on their in-house PCB assembly business unit. Our robust make vs buy process guided our client to outsource, resulting in £1.0 million saving per annum.

Our large global client hired us to support their group cost reduction program for machined components. Various cost engineering techniques, including should cost and fact-based negotiations was used to deliver £2.5 million saving per annum.

 Our large global client hired us to support their group cost reduction program for fabricated components. Various cost engineering techniques, including should cost and fact-based negotiations was used to deliver £1.2 million saving per annum. 

Our client hired us to support negotiations on a single source / supplier owned IP product - a complex valve. Should Cost is the only cost reduction lever available in this type of project (to achieve significant savings). We exceeded our clients expectation and delivered 26% saving.
