About the Book

A practical workbook for companies involved in low volume production. It offers cost analysis techniques and design tactics to boost sales margins of products manufactured in small batches. Illustrated with numerous examples, the book shows how to make design trade-offs to maximize margins and get the best leverage from ready-made technology. The book provides step-by-step guidance to help you boost sales margins in cases where: your product is manufactured in small numbers (typically less than 50); you are trying to meet a demanding new product cost target or reduce costs of an existing product; or you want to maximize perceived product value in the eyes of your customer.
