Product Costing
Factories around the world are constantly challenged to establish accurate cost estimates for their internal accounting purposes and for their customers.
On-site cost estimating resources are often in great demand and the process is time consuming, complex and expensive.
Costs are influenced by many interrelated drivers, typically specific to a factory and to the combination of products it produces. Factory loadings and equipment utilisation levels are also very dynamic. When the required time-to-market is increasingly fast, appropriate and reliable ‘should cost’ knowledge is hard to come by without specialist help.
In a situation of uncertainty about the product in question, costs can be overestimated when extra contingencies are added and this can result in a higher than expected initial quote for the cost of manufacture.
It is critical to know what a product 'should cost' if the product is being manufactured in the best possible way and with best-in-class levels of efficiency.
Real Insight's SCA application is an on-line system that determines (for a given Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) and/or an assembled electronic product) what the accurate and 'fair' product manufacturing cost should be when manufactured or assembled by a cost efficient, productive and competent sub-contract manufacturer in a specified region of the world.
The 'should cost' we calculate is known as the 'value added' cost and when added to the cost of all component parts (the BOM cost) will give you the 'ex-factory' or 'factory selling' price of a specific product when manufactured and placed at the factory gates.
We are confident that the ‘should cost’ value our system generates, based on the specific product characteristics you input, represents the best-in-class ex-factory selling price achievable for a suitable 'fit for purpose' manufacturer in the region of the world that you select for your analysis.
Our SCA tool and technique is unique in the electronics manufacturing industry and has been used extensively to deliver success to our clients during numerous consulting assignments for over 10 years.
We are widely respected across the world by many leading CEM, EMS, ODM, and OEM companies as well as several world-class international design houses.
