Topic: How Cost Engineers Can Achieve a Broader Impact by Ceding Control
Cost reduction is the top priority this year, according to a BCG global survey of C-level executives. However, cost-cutting strategies often fall short over the long term because they are department-specific and focus mainly on reducing headcount. Without a coordinated corporate strategy, efforts lack alignment across departments to achieve short-term targets and long-term goals.
Manufacturers tackle this challenge by shifting cost engineering responsibilities to foster a corporate “cost culture,” which involves these strategies:
- Adopting a “shift-left” mindset: Engaging cost engineering, sourcing, and sustainability early in design to eliminate costly downstream issues.
- Empowering product designers to tackle cost: Automated cost and DFM guidance help designers tackle low-level cost issues that overwhelm cost engineers.
- Refocusing on strategic initiatives: Cost engineers focus more on strategic initiatives and guiding product designers without having to review every part of the design.
