Cost BOM management
Supports full-configured cost BOM management, including scene functions such as building and maintenance, data synchronization, cost convolution, change release, query analysis, and comparative analysis.
Target cost planning
Enables early planning of product target costs, target cost calculation, target cost balancing, and target cost output and updating based on cost BOMs.
Target cost control
Manages target costs for souring, design changes, and mass production contract costs, thus effectively supporting the achievement of target costs.
Parts cost estimation
Swiftly estimates parts costs and implement a basic cost library for cost analysis based on the full-factor cost model and profession-specific rapid estimation models.
Basic cost library
Constructs and manages fundamental cost libraries, including economic indicators, raw material costs, standard parts costs, and equipment costs, and provide comprehensive support for cost estimation tasks.
Actual cost library
Manages the entire lifecycle of actual costs for purchased and in-house parts, as well as part quotas.
Mass production cost improvement
Achieves overall management and support for mass production cost improvement activities such as design and business cost reduction.
Cost reduction proposal management
Implements comprehensive management for creating, collecting, evaluating, planning, implementing, and sharing cost reduction proposals.
Benchmarking cost library
Manage benchmark products and benchmark parts cost libraries and supports cost benchmarking analysis.
