Cost to Source
Target + Should Costs

With 80% of costs locked in during design, target and should cost analysis gives you the ability to analyze the true costs of a new product long before it is ever produced. Custom, engineer-to-order, and contract manufacturers use should costing programs to align product development, engineering, manufacturing, and sourcing groups in order to determine expected component and product costs before engaging any vendors in an RFQ process.

ImpactECS combines cost data including raw material costs, labor rates, overhead costs, and profit margin requirements to model product costs and identify cost drivers in a meaningful way. You can improve vendor negotiations, identify cost reduction opportunities, drive pricing decisions, and evaluate profits by unique product. ImpactECS provides the platform to perform fact-based cost comparisons in order to find the right materials, processes, and strategic partners.
