Product cost management plays a decisive role in the economic success of your company. In view of the ever-increasing pressure on margins, the growing complexity of portfolios and the diverse risks for supply chains in globalized markets, the importance of product costs is also steadily increasing. ConMoto supports its customers in reducing product costs while also keeping an eye on product features and functions to increase customer value.
From many years of project experience our experts know that product cost optimization has many facets. ConMoto takes a holistic approach that considers product and production strategy, business strategy and procurement strategy in parallel. Together with the department managers in your company, we answer the central questions for successful market-oriented product development and successful product cost management.
