No structure in ERP yet
The product exists only as an engineering structure, often with no price for new parts. Yet the biggest cost decisions are taken now.

ALL THE TIME
Change comes fast
Tariffs, material prices and exchange rates shift overnight. Which products are hit, by how much, and what can be done?
The result is spreadsheets: costs rebuilt by hand, product by product, out of date by the time they are presented, and too slow for the decisions a sudden change demands.
ONE PRODUCT, FIVE MOMENTS
One foundation. Five questions.
Follow one product through its life, from the first design to phase‑out. The same costed structure answers every question along the way.
