The problem
BOMs designed for speed-to-prototype carry cost at volume: over-specified parts, single sources, unused features.
Over-specified parts
Prototype choices carry extra cost into volume production.
Single sources
Lack of alternatives weakens your negotiating position.
Unused features
Components paid for but not used by the product.
What we do
Prioritised cost-down plan with savings, effort and risk per item.
Line-by-line BOM review
Over-specification and consolidation
Alternative parts and second sources
Firmware changes to enable cheaper parts
Savings model per volume
Component Cost Reduction
Target the components that drive your cost: processors, memory, radios, power and connectors.
PCB Cost Reduction
Reduce board cost without losing reliability: layer count, panelisation, components and assembly steps.
Manufacturing Cost Reduction
Lower cost per unit on the line: test time, assembly steps, yield and rework.
Our Engineering Process
Lower cost per unit without trading away reliability.
