Use of greenfield approaches and competitive analyses.
Identification of potential savings and efficiency improvements.
The need to optimise costs
Efficient cost structures are essential for sustainable corporate management. Companies with optimised cost structures often have significantly higher profitability. Costmind helps you to fully utilise this potential by:
Optimisation of the entire cost structure
Through detailed analyses and comparisons with our greenfield approaches and competitor products, we provide you with optimisation approaches for investments, purchasing, in-house production and overheads.
Make-or-Buy
We support you in comparing in-house production costs with external procurement options from suppliers. By analysing the market situation and on the basis of possible changes in technology, we find the right production concepts for a competitive cost structure
Reduction of production costs through process optimisation
We create a greenfield calculation for a detailed comparison with the current production situation (external or in-house) and thus identify areas for action in the areas of technology, cycle time, synchronisation, manpower, tool costs and investments. Thanks to our technical expertise, we are also happy to assist you with the implementation.
Design-to-Cost (D2C)
With technical product optimisations, we achieve reduced product costs for our customers while maintaining the same quality requirements. By optimising production technologies, we aim to achieve the best possible costs for the components and their function.
Overhead cost optimisation through analyses and comparisons
The often opaque overhead cost blocks for materials, production, administration and sales can be analysed by us and optimised on the basis of empirically determined comparative approaches.
Negotiation support for cost disclosures
When awarding contracts or negotiating annual prices, we use appropriate transparency in the form of CBDs (cost break-downs) to highlight potential cost reductions for subsequent price reductions.
Detailed analyses and comparisons at the heart of our approach
Our approach is based on detailed analyses and comparisons. We use greenfield approaches and competitive product comparisons to identify optimisation potential in your cost structure.
