Secure and optimize development budgets on projects

In industrial sectors with low production volumes, such as space, defense and aeronautics, medical imaging or high-tech equipment, the amount of non-recurring costs spent by an industrial on a new program is frequently equivalent to or greater than the sum of recurrent manufacturing costs accumulated over the entire production life of the equipment.

• Few feedback and root cause analysis exercises are actually conducted
• More and more sophisticated predictive methods are now available
• Study costs are sometimes knowingly underestimated at the beginning of a project
• Finally, it should be pointed out that the optimization of study budgets remains a taboo
