Some of these methods for optimization are well known, e. g. value engineering and target costing &#8211; and yet are rarely, inconsistently or incorrectly applied. <\/p>\n<p>Other approaches are only familiar to experts &#8211; for example, the optimization of product requirements based on the evaluation of social media data, the cross-system optimization of products along value chains, or methodical approaches to systematic solution finding such as TRIZ. Optimization of product value via the core cost approach is also established in only a few companies. <\/p>\n<p>In general, the tools used in PCM can be categorized as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transparency generating methods<\/li>\n<li>Methods for technical optimization<\/li>\n<li>Methods for commercial optimization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are flanked by efficient and motivating workshop formats. TARGUS helps you identify the most appropriate methods for your business and applies them in a customized project approach to achieve the optimal result. <\/p>\n<p>PCM is increasingly supported by specialized IT tools. These are used when creating target cost models, managing and tracking optimization ideas, or documenting internal and external best practices and benchmarks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f347091 ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f347091\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_photomorph_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-1024x649.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-88141\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-1024x649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-1536x974.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/targusmc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/230606_TAR_TARGUS-Methodenkoffer_EN-2048x1299.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive toolbox enables customized solutions TARGUS offers customized solutions, which is only possible with an extensive and versatile range of methods and tools.
