Parties strategic management
• Designers on average lose 30% of their time searching for components, sometimes without success. Equally time is taken to recreate existing components with an objective waste of time.
• Each new component set brings real management costs that slow down new products development.

Average costs
70% of the total product costs can be influenced during the development phase
•The greatest savings potential can’t be realized with the purchase prices, but in a much earlier stage.
•By re-use optimizing rate of existing parts and multiplicity parts reducing, product development costs are influenced in a way that isn’t possible at a later date.
Some companies have calculated costs for additional component.
Costs range depending on the industry.

How to increase performance between Technical, Management and Production Offices?
Do I code and archive parts with consistent logic?
Can I modify and send the bill to the ERP system?
