Utilizing synergies between products<\/h3>\n

The market’s desire for customized products increases the pressure to offer a high level of configurational options and increasing diversification. This results in many variants, the development and production of which must be done at a consistently high quality while still being profitable for manufacturers. <\/p>\n

With Product Structure Management (PSM), TARGUS offers the appropriate methodology to reduce this complexity, the time required for engineering, and thus the costs, both in the development phase and later in production.<\/p>\n

Based on an analysis of market and customer requirements and your existing product portfolio, we help identify the optimal of three possible – and combinable – strategies for your products:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Common-part strategy<\/li>\n
  • Modularization strategy<\/li>\n
  • Platform strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This serves as the starting point for designing an optimized product structure under the guiding principles of modularization and standardization. This leads to high external variance towards the customer and low internal variance and therefore lower costs. <\/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
