“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
