Our portfolio in the area of Value Engineering & Analysis

Modeling the chain of effects

Impact chain modeling enables companies to accurately model and analyze the effects of various decisions and changes in the product-service system during concept development, incorporating principles of value engineering.

For this purpose, data and information about the product and its environment are collected, and relevant factors that influence value and performance are identified. The cause-and-effect relationships of these factors are visualized by creating impact chain models.

The analysis includes the study of market and customer feedback to understand the influence of product features on customer satisfaction, as well as the evaluation of operational processes to increase productivity. Based on these results, action plans for optimization are developed, improvement potentials are prioritized, and value engineering strategies are applied to enhance overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Value Stream Analysis

Value Stream Analysis is a method for analyzing and optimizing production or development processes in companies in order to reduce waste, shorten throughput times and improve the overall value flow. This method helps companies to increase their efficiency and maximize customer benefits.

By analyzing existing processes, bottlenecks, waste and waiting times are identified. Based on these findings, we develop implementation plans for continuous improvement initiatives. By visualizing the value stream and examining lead times, inventory levels and waste in detail, targeted measures for process optimization and value stream improvement can be derived, ultimately leading to increased efficiency and customer value.

Scalability technology

Our expertise in scalability engineering focuses on the design and development of products that are flexible and adaptable to keep pace with increasing demand or changing requirements.

We analyze the technical architecture and infrastructure to ensure that it meets future scaling requirements. Technologies and platforms are evaluated to check their suitability for increasing requirements, and roadmaps and architecture recommendations are developed for scaling products and systems.

By developing scalable architectures, technologies and processes, we create the basis for the automatic scaling of resources and system components. Tests and validations of scalability solutions under various load scenarios ensure their efficiency and reliability.

Usability-tailored Product design

Our usability-tailored product design will shape your product to best meet the needs, capabilities and preferences of the user. Through user-centered design, we maximize usability, efficiency and satisfaction. This starts with the creation of detailed user profiles and personas to identify specific user requirements and expectations.

We then develop wireframes, prototypes and mock-ups that enable user-friendly interfaces and interactions. Iterative usability testing and continuous adjustments to the design based on user feedback are key elements of this process. Through this method, we ensure that the final product is not only functional, but also intuitive and pleasant to use.

Life Cycle Engineering

Our life cycle engineering offers a holistic view of the product life cycle, from design and development through production and use to disposal or recycling. The aim is to make products more sustainable and to optimize the entire life cycle value.

We assess the ecological footprint of the product over its entire life cycle, including production, use, and disposal. In doing so, we identify measures to reduce resource consumption, emissions, and waste. We also develop strategies to promote the circular economy and product recovery, incorporating value engineering principles to enhance resource efficiency.

By analyzing the entire life cycle and implementing monitoring and control measures, we contribute to the sustainable improvement of your products’ environmental footprint, with a focus on value engineering for optimized performance and sustainability.
