AWS Cost Engineering & Innovation Partner is a consulting company focused on Cost & Value Engineering and the cost-oriented evaluation of manufacturing technologies. For more than 20 years, we have been supporting companies worldwide – from start-ups to international corporations – in creating transparency in product costs and realizing cost-saving potential in development and production.

Cost & Value Engineering provides transparency regarding tooling, development, and product costs from the earliest stages of development through to the final after-sales phase. In addition to pure cost evaluation, Cost & Value Engineering also offers numerous opportunities for cost optimization. AWS is a recognized partner for companies seeking to make well-founded decisions based on reliable cost data.

With more than 20 years of experience in the field of Cost & Value Engineering, we are a benchmark in cost analytical consulting and product optimization. Through early and detailed cost analyses as well as implementation-oriented recommendations, projects achieve measurable economic success depending on their initial situation. We place the highest value on close cooperation with purchasing, engineering, and project management teams.

We advise international corporations, medium-sized companies, and start-ups across all industries. Whether in mechanical engineering, electronics, energy, or food production, wherever product costs, manufacturing processes, and competitiveness are critical factors, AWS Cost Engineering & Innovation Partner can make a significant contribution to project and business success.

The scope and level of detail of AWS Cost Engineering & Innovation Partner’s support are discussed in detail with the customer before project initiation and presented in a transparent and comprehensible manner.

Possible outcomes of applying Cost & Value Engineering include:

• Detailed cost structures and product cost calculations
• Cost and value driver analyses including concrete optimization measures
• Support for price negotiations through fact-based target costing
• Process analyses and support for make-or-buy decisions
• Support throughout product and process development (Design-to-Cost)
• Cost-down workshops and benchmarking (products/components)

In every project, a transfer of know-how into the customer’s organization takes place, often leading to sustainable additional improvements on the customer side.

As early as possible – ideally during the development phase. A large proportion of a product’s future cost structure is determined during the early stages of development. The earlier cost analysis expertise is integrated, the greater the influence on future costs, feasibility, and profitability.

AWS Cost Engineering & Innovation Partner operates a proven knowledge management system that has ensured the continuous quality and relevance of our data and manufacturing technology expertise through regular semi-annual audits for more than 15 years. This includes material and machine data as well as global information on location-specific costs and labor rates.

Contact us via our contact form and we will arrange a non-binding initial meeting via Teams, phone, or in person. During this meeting, we discuss initial questions, objectives, and the optimal scope of the project.

Afterwards, we will present our methodology and approach to generating results, giving you a complete understanding of the expected outcomes and their long-term impact. Signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is mandatory for us. This also aligns with our successful TISAX certification (ISO 27001 for automotive suppliers).

Once the required services have been defined, you will promptly receive a non-binding proposal outlining the project scope.
