Accelerate product introduction for industrial machinery with Teamcenter Product Cost Management

Every machine has countless essential components, and the manufacturers of those components must contribute to increasing machine productivity, reducing emissions, and lowering energy consumption. Component manufacturers produce thousands of components each year used across manufacturing industries. These components must have a competitive carbon footprint, contributing to building machines truly sustainable. But even at companies that have set explicit emission-reduction goals, balancing short-term cost pressures with longer-term strategic objectives, such as sustainability is challenging. By turning attention to the design process and scrutinizing the end-to-end manufacturing value chain, component manufacturers have an opportunity to capture the dual benefit of carbon and cost savings and boost long-term growth. Manufacturers can identify the most important levers and analyze the impact as a trade-off between carbon footprint, profit margin, and customer value.
