Reduction of Product Costs
Increase Efficiency. Secure Competitive Advantages. Strengthen Profits.
Cost Efficiency as a Strategic Success Factor
From experience, we know that maintaining today’s price levels is becoming increasingly difficult.
Competition is more intense than ever, and suppliers are trying to maximize their margins. To remain competitive, companies must continuously review and optimize their cost structures.
Bellevue SME Advisors GmbH has carried out numerous successful projects for product cost reduction.
With a systematic approach, we identify savings potential, improve processes, and help companies sustainably increase their profitability – without compromising quality or performance.
Are your margins getting smaller?
Is the customer pushing for discounts and the supplier for price increases?
Systematic Product Cost Reduction – Our Approach
Globalization intensifies competition.
Product costs are under constant pressure, and your customers expect the best value for money. A strategic and structured approach to cost reduction is therefore indispensable.
Typical stages of a product cost reduction project:
-
Definition: Determining in which products or areas costs are to be reduced
-
Analysis phase: Examination of the current cost structure
-
Goal setting: Define realistic savings targets
-
Identification of savings potential: Identify measures with the least effort and greatest impact
-
Supply chain optimization: Alternative suppliers, new locations, better terms
-
Design changes: Product or process optimizations with a focus on efficiency
-
RFQ process: Tendering and quotation comparison
-
Tests & audits: Ensuring quality and reliability
-
Contract drafting & implementation: Recording the results in robust agreements
-
Production transfer (optional): Optimization or relocation if required
-
Follow-up: Monitoring all measures to sustainably ensure project success
As former industrial entrepreneurs, we know how crucial regular cost analyses are.
Competition never sleeps – and customers demand lower prices, which without active measures quickly leads to declining margins. Those who establish product cost reduction as a fixed component of the continuous improvement process secure long-term stability and competitiveness.
