Design for Total Affordability

Achieving higher performance with less cost is at the top of every organization's agenda today. Manufacturers have long known that dollars spent up front on affordability have a much greater return than those spent late in the design cycle. Yet most have failed to use a new structure and way of design thinking to make this really happen.

In these times of shrinking budgets, the tactic of squeezing out saving through late-in-the game cost reduction initiatives rarely meets the cost reductions programs demand. Over 75% of all program costs are set in motion at the early design concept stage. Attacking cost at this early stage requires a design method and measurements that systematically surfaces and reduces all life cycle costs.  The Huthwaite Innovation Institute will work with your organization using a complete systems approach to accomplish design for total affordability.
