Boothroyd Dewhurst DFMA Software vs. LeanCOST

If you want to lead a project team through the process of cost optimization from concept until SOP you will find a huge portfolio of processes and hints for cost improvement. Effects like simplification are the base - additionally hints for the search of costdrivers are given. It is an optimal toolset for value engineers, design engineers or cost engineers.

• Provide detailed cost estimation in the concept phase (with or without CAD data).
• Provides detailed cost estimation down to the process level in a comprehensible way.
• Supports project teams with hints for product simplification.
• Assists industrial engineers with cost and process assumptions for part manufacturing such as die casting, injection molding, hot forming, machining, investment casting, sand casting, sintering technology, sheet metal cutting, stamping and forming, forging, printed circuit board assembly, extrusion of plastics and metals, manual and automatic assembly... and many secondary operations such as welding, bonding, etc...
• Enables cost engineers to document their own know-how for use in the concept phase for early optimization / frontloading.

• High skills required.
• Not easy to learn for beginners.
• Trainings requirement.
• High cost.

Incentivized

• Smooth product design.
• Less engineering changes required after SOP of product.
• High revenue growth.
