Qualitative Assessment

Cost Assessment 360°

The Cost Assessment is a systematic methodology used to identify all cost reduction opportunities, prioritize between different topics/areas, facilitate benchmarks between plants and understand the minimum cost a plant can operate at the current technology level.

The topics evaluated during this assessment are:

Material efficiency by line and/or production system
Time efficiency, including changeover, operative/maintenance stoppages, production speed, reworks, others
Claims related to production received from customers
Over stock, including work-in-process, tooling and raw materials
Labor optimization in case of sub utilized manpower
Internal movements by product type in all stations
Energy by vector and consumption type
Maintenance, including workshop management and emergency, scheduled and preventive maintenance
Environment expenses
Over consumption related to operations and logistics

We help our clients moving beyond the recommendations and implementing the improvementopportunities discovered during the assessment.

We work side-by-side with our customers in order to achieve significant results.
