A standardized, global product development and purchasing process was needed to fuel growth and control capital costs
AOP Approach
A client team facilitated by AOP and composed of sales, design engineers, and purchasing personnel was assembled to promote process and product standardization
A design-for-cost methodology was applied to establish product design standards
Results
Recent capital budgets for large projects resulted in +/- 5% variances instead of historical +15% to +50% budget misses
Product design standards for major capital projects were instituted across North and South America
