Design to Cost

With its design to cost process, defortec GmbH meets the industry’s growing demand for rapid return on investment.
This holistic process, which is applied particularly in mechanical engineering design, is closely related to ‘target costing’. From product analysis through design conception to production support, the focus is on the cost-effectiveness of the products being designed.

This approach ensures cost-effective production and, consequently, a rapid return on the development costs invested. Furthermore, subsequent costs for maintenance and servicing are taken into account within our intelligent process and optimised wherever possible.

Through the systematic review and analysis of the product’s current state, defortec, as a design agency, identifies potential areas for improvement and, in close consultation with the client, develops a tailored and cost-effective product design. The intensive exchange between the engineers and the creative team at defortec ensures a focused project workflow and prevents unnecessary delays in development.
