Target Costing Training - reaching your goals

Art.Nr.: 099

Level = simple, without previous knowledge ( - 1 day - )

80 to 90% of the product materials cost are already caused in the R+D / construction phase and mostly fixed in the bill of materials (parts list). So it’s the most important thing before starting the product production to reach cost reductions in the R+D stadium. Target Costing combined with value engineering and interdepartmental purchase activities are one of the most effective strategic instruments to reach important targets together - cost cutting without sacrificing quality, reliability and customer requirements. Receiver-oriented cost-accounting information (construction-related costing) is in demand, so that the design engineers can immadetely estimate the cost effects of their action.
