Beyond the bottom line – a holistic approach to cost management

The call for sustainable and energy-efficient products has gained unprecedented relevance, not least due to ambitious targets for the achievement of environmental goals.

The C02 tax and the rise in the price of fossil fuels mean that manufacturers need full transparency on the emission footprint and energy consumption of their products.

In addition to the classic product cost calculation, we will show how the CO2 emission value is determined and interpreted so that the right balance can be struck between the two worlds.

The webinar is aimed at product managers, cost analysts, controllers, sustainability departments and all who find themselves confronted with carbon footprint management.

We will explore and discuss:

  • the calculation of the product's true cost as part of a static analysis
  • dynamization of the static calculation in a lifetime profitability analysis
  • design-to-cost and simulation of what-if scenarios in the early product development phase
  • the use of comprehensive data libraries as the basis for a manufacturing cost calculation
  • the calculation of a product’s C02 footprint (PCF)
  • how to identify the most energy-efficient use of factory machinery using simulation technology
  • the re-localisation of outsourced manufacturing processes
  • the interpretation of the calculation results and their use in product development
  • the consideration of transport costs/transport emissions
