COST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM INITIATIVE
AMPCO initiated a Cost Management Program Initiative for a Fortune 500 company, and one of the largest manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles in the world, which has resulted in an annual cost reduction for the Customer of $180,000 and a total cost savings of $900,000 over the last 5 years from this one initiative alone (see Breakdown on page 7).
A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO GENERATING MEANINGFUL COST REDUCTIONS
AMPCO’s Target Pricing Test is where our customers provide the details and target price, or prices, for a single part or a basket of parts. The target price set by the customer for each part is at a level that would generate significant cost savings for their organization when compared to current costs. Then, AMPCO’s design and engineering team goes to work pulling the multitude of levers that we have at our disposal to engineer a solution that meets all of the specifications and ideally meets, or even beats, the target price for each part.
