Cost reduction, efficiency and innovation

Cost engineering covers various fields of cost analysis. These include: calculations of component prices, tool costs or development costs. The aim of cost engineering is to optimise costs over the entire life cycle of a product or project. Based on this, we offer services such as benchmarking or cost-down workshops by providing our services as an innovation partner. The focus is always on achieving a sustainable increase in a company’s competitiveness and innovative strength. By combining cost reduction, efficiency and innovation, we can offer holistic solutions and support the realisation of cost reduction potential.

Measurable
results

Whether it is costs, structure or technology, AWS creates facts which are transparent and measurable. We have been creating this transparency for 20 years.

Sustainable cost optimisation

A cost analysis creates transparency and offers a detailed comparison of your own cost structure with best practice values. This provides concrete starting points for reducing your own product costs. The results of an analysis reveal specific opportunities for sustainable cost optimisation. Precise insights into the cost structure of suppliers can be gained, and it also supports the pricing process and creates a better understanding of costs. In addition, strengths and weaknesses of market competitors can be recognised and own competitive advantages can be created. The negotiating position with suppliers is significantly improved, as well-founded information can be used as a basis for dialogue. Furthermore, the cost and value analysis provides a more reliable basis for decision-making.
