Product Costs

Every year Helbling Management Consulting demonstrates via numerous projects that product costs can be decreased by anything from 20 to 50 % and how this can be done. This procedure can include the latest innovative functionalities and also fulfill the specific requirements of emerging or very cost-sensitive markets by using a market-oriented "good enough" approach.

Thanks to the versatile expertise of the Helbling Group in innovation, development & design, production, procurement and supply chain, Helbling Management Consulting regularly succeeds in making quantum leaps towards reducing product costs for our clients.

The complexity and diversity of products is constantly on the rise. In addition, product costs are increased further as a result of poor communication, numerous changes, and shifting deadlines in the individual development phases. The biggest potential for reducing costs lies in the standardization and harmonization of products and processes, wherever possible without sacrificing perceived product diversity. This means that customer-neutral product modules must be customized in line with customers’ needs by combining them with customer-specific modules.
