LPE works with customers to identify cost-saving design opportunities before unnecessary cost becomes fixed into production. Our design-for-manufacture approach brings engineering and manufacturing knowledge into the discussion, helping customers review how a component or assembly can be produced more effectively.
This approach has delivered documented savings across previous LPE projects. Examples published by the company include replacing a welded design with a mechanical solution that saved a customer $1.25 million, and developing an integrated enclosure that reduced cost by more than a third compared with the previous solution.
Cost reduction is considered alongside the technical and commercial requirements of the project, not as a substitute for them. If you have an existing design that is expensive or difficult to manufacture, or a new product entering production, talk to LPE about a design-for-manufacture review.
