Heading 1

Build sustainable and profitable products

Make informed decisions to drive down carbon emissions, reduce product costs and address customer value demands.

Maximize profits with product cost management

Calculate costs for new products, tools and quotations early in the product lifecycle. Quickly identify cost drivers and easily simulate and compare alternatives. Predict future product costs and prices using the profitability calculation to secure product investments.

Support cost engineering for purchased parts and tools

Run reliable cost estimates of supplier parts by modeling the production process from the bottom-up. Determine the cost drivers associated with each process step. Using product cost management, you can manage cost structure and value engineering with suppliers. Based on estimates, you can negotiate future target prices or purchase prices based on reliable cost details.

Measure and manage product carbon footprints

Create an immediate, visible link between product cost and CO2e emissions. By aggregating product carbon footprint emission factors along the value chain, you can identify the most important levers that will yield the greatest savings. Then, you can analyze the impact as a trade-off between the product carbon footprint, profit margin and customer value.

Increasing speed and accuracy of request for quote responses

When you’re developing a new product, you need to be innovative. You need to understand the market opportunity. You need to deliver a quality product, and the timing needs to be right. Perhaps most importantly, you need to be cost-conscious. No matter how great your product is, it cannot be successful without profitability.

Teamcenter product cost management supports the cost and value engineering approach at an early stage of the development process by providing cost transparency for products and tools. This approach enables a quantifiable decision base for cost optimized products.

With the integrated product profitability calculation in Teamcenter you can secure product investments by predicting future product costs and prices over the entire product lifecycle. Product cost management provides a digital twin of your product and tool costs which enables you to accurately represent planed and simulated costs. Product cost management increases speed and accuracy of request for quote responses which helps companies to win more business.
