“The best purchase is the one you never make”, as Jean-Claude Lefebvre, procurement specialist at the consultancy Solving, liked to recall in Les Echos in April 1994.

 

When we know that 90% of a product’s cost is determined at the design stage, it is essential to track down potential savings during this phase by:

– Simplifying the design

– Rationalising the components

– Standardising the materials.

– And above all avoiding over-engineering
