Analysis and optimization of the vehicle development cost structure

PROJECT OUTLINE

  • The diversification of the range requires an increased rationalization of development costs.
  • The client, a car manufacturer, wishes to estimate and analyze the various development costs associated with its vehicles in order to find ways to improve.

PROJECT APPROACH

  • Analysis of data on all vehicle development items (engineering entry ticket, supplier entry ticket, prototype costs, machine purchase costs, etc.).
  • Comparison with internal benchmarks (past developments) and identification of gaps.
  • Analysis of these gaps and optimization proposals.
  • Analysis of the organization linked to the costing and monitoring of development costs (management control).
  • Synthesis of improvement proposals (tools and organization) to improve cost estimation and variance tracking.

RESULTS

  • Optimization of development costs, in particular: rationalization, pooling, digitalization, review of requirements, complexity and product diversity.
  • Improved cost estimation and variation tracking: process redesign, cost driver upgrades, complexity consideration.
