22 % BOM Cost Reduction on a Power Electronics Assembly
A bill-of-materials analysis uncovered substantial savings potential — without quality compromises or supplier risk.
The challenge
A device manufacturer felt they had exhausted all options on a power electronics assembly — purchase prices seemed fixed. Manual searches for cheaper sources consumed time the purchasing team simply did not have.
Our solution
We analyzed all 41 BOM line items against current market prices, supplier conditions, and global availability — including specialist dealers and brokers. For selected positions, we additionally evaluated qualified equivalent alternatives. The findings were prepared as a transparent, per-component report.
The result
Procurement costs for the assembly dropped by approximately 22 % — with no quality compromises and no supplier risk. The customer has since sourced the optimized positions through us.
We thought our prices were set in stone. The report uncovered 22 % — clearly documented per line item.
