Capabilities to influence and reduce costs in the product design process shrink exponentially during the product life cycle. Still over 70% of future product costs are determined in the design stage. This puts the attention to chances which enable well founded estimates on the development of product costs. Especially in the design stage, ERP systems can only help to a limited extent, since structures are incomplete, bill of materials are often not yet present, comparisons are almost not possible or the component’s price quality might not be good enough at that time.

CIDEON Cost Analytics has especially been designed for those needs: Providing the possibility of estimates on product cost development, history as well as comparison which help to make earlier and profound decisions and hence reduce the time-to-market.
