The automotive industry faces unprecedented challenges: rapid market changes, rising raw material and energy costs, volatile supply chains, stricter regulatory requirements, and the transition to sustainable powertrains are placing significant financial pressure on many OEMs and their suppliers.

Cost reduction has become a top priority for many companies, but existing approaches are often insufficient.Cost management must evolve alongside the industry by covering new cost categories, supporting agile business development, considering new technologies, and providing faster cost models. Additionally, it requires an examination of various cost dimensions, including the cost effects of CO2 pricing.

Our optimization approach integrates the entire product lifecycle with cost, investment, and sustainability perspectives into cost management. Using our dedicated toolboxes, we specifically unlock potential across the whole automotive value chain – from procurement and production to software platforms. Benefit from our extensive technology and process expertise and our industry experience from hundreds of successfully executed cost-out projects with leading automotive manufacturers.
