Agile Product Cost Management enables companies to manage product costs across the product lifecycle and make informed sourcing decisions early on, synchronizing product cost intelligence and processes across design, sourcing, manufacturing and supplier tiers.
Agile Product Cost Management helps companies reduce material costs and gain control over all sourcing processes by providing:
- Linkage to the most current product record, throughout the product lifecycle
- Collaborative team-based, BOM-based RFx, time-phased product cost management
- Visibility and analysis of extended supply chain co-sourcing procurement leverage
- A robust, reusable knowledge management repository of material and non-material cost data
- Measurement of actual vs. target costs and margin goals, across a product's lifecycle
