Cost management in development and construction

New specialist book teaches methods for cost-optimized product development and design

Product development processes are highly dynamic. While product life cycles are becoming shorter, the pressure to produce innovative and high-quality products at the lowest possible cost is growing. It is therefore becoming increasingly important for designers and developers to work in a cost-optimized manner right from the early stages of product development. Effective cost management takes into account products, resources and processes across all departments in order to optimize the success of the company.

The reference book "Cost Management in Development and Design" supports readers in selecting suitable methods for successful cost management as early as the product development phase. The textbook also shows how these methods can be adapted to individual requirements and applied in practice.

Excerpts from the content:
- Basics, terms and methods
- Development projects and organizational forms
- Materials - Cost factor and significance for cost management
- Methods for cost optimization in development and design
- Methods for early cost estimation
- Costs of production aids and tools
