  Founder

  Cost Engineering for Improving ProfitabilityCost Engineering leads for improved profitability and competitive advantage, by developing products to specific cost requirements, and by cost reduction of R&D and Supply Chain, focusing on avoiding excess costs. The lack of Cost Engineering increases the product’s cost above its original target, leads to profit erosion and even loss. Based on my experience, the return on an investment (ROI) for cost engineering is 10:1.Contact: karnioded@gmail.com Show less
