Maximum Value. Minimum Costs.
Multidisciplinary collaboration.
Where AI meets Value and Cost Engineering. Align teams on a collaboration platform.
Build cost-down scenarios. Secure margin realization in the Value Cockpit.
THE CHALLENGE
AI based Value Engineering (VE)
without structure creates chaos.
Scattered
spreadsheets
Ideas, functions, and cost data live across disconnected files and workshop notes
Unstructured workshops
Teams lack a consistent value management workflow to guide analysis and decision making.
Hard to track
decisions
Important ideas get lost after workshops, making follow-through and accountability difficult.
Savings not
realized
Without prioritization and tracking, improvement ideas rarely turn into measurable outcomes.
HOW IT WORKS
VMCoach:
From Chaos to Clarity.
Your CE/VE process, mastered. One platform to unify data, align multidisciplinary teams, and track solution scenarios from concept to realization.
Define scope
Capture the project, product, or process and align the team on the challenge to solve.
Rework customer requirements
Get the system architecture right according to the voice of customer and build a usable requirement structure.
Analyse cost
ABC analyses, target costs, and reference calculations provide the costing input for the value engineering process.
Generate and evaluate ideas
Run collaborative workshops, compare alternatives, and focus on the highest-value opportunities.
Track outcomes
Monitor implementation, supplier alignment, savings, and decisions in one structured workflow.
Everything teams need to run
interdisciplinary CE/VE projects
Standardize VM methodology
Create one shared process across workshops, teams, and projects.
Powered by Artificial Intelligence
Performe better & faster function analysis and generate more cost savings
Centralize
project data
Keep functions, ideas, costs, and decisions in one place.
Increase savings realization
Focus effort on the highest-value opportunities and monitor outcomes.
Improve
transparency
One value cockpit to get real time about all projects and initiatives
Automated synchronization
Consistent versioning and update for cost data imports

A central platform as a basis for purchaser and Cost Engineers.
VMCoach integrates target costs and outlines the cost potential gaps.
Background knowledge from cost engineering is captured and processed to create comprehensive spreadsheets.
Optimisation technologies and approaches are documented and potential savings are calculated to stress out the purchasing task points.
Purchasing gets an easy-to-handle presentation to use in cost meetings with suppliers.
All saving potentials are tracked and aligned with final supplier offers.
Every time is right time for
Cost/Value Engineering.
EARLY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Apply value engineering in the early phases of product development.
For new product development and innovations there is often no BOM available. A systems engineering and functional requirements approach is necessary.
Create your system architecture and get your functions in place. Then define function target costs.
Moving forward in the PDP, the function cost blocks are more and more transferred to solutions and module costs.
EARLY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Apply value engineering for existing products and series.
No matter the volume, start with a reference BOM and upload it.
A first cost analysis gives orientation and helps decide which cost-down approach to use.
VMCoach offers flexible roads to get the cost downs.
Either go for a parts-focused approach and do cost engineering at its best.
Or go for value engineering with function thinking and facelift or reinvent the new product.
A platform grounded in outcomes, not just activity.
