FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a product teardown report?
A teardown report includes a complete hierarchical Bill of Materials (BOM), high-resolution disassembly photography, measured part weights and dimensions, material spectroscopy, manufacturing process identification, and assembly sequence maps.

How does should-costing help in supplier negotiations?
Should-costing breaks down component costs into raw material, cycle time, machine tonnage rates, scrap rates, and tooling amortization, giving procurement teams data-backed target prices during supplier negotiations.

What is VAVE and how do you generate savings ideas?
Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VAVE) analyzes component function versus cost to identify opportunities for material substitution, part consolidation, wall thickness optimization, and fastener elimination without compromising performance.

Can you benchmark electric vehicle (EV) battery packs and powertrains?
Yes. We have dedicated teardown bays for EV battery packs, drive units, inverters, and thermal management systems, evaluating cell packaging, busbar welding, cooling channels, and should-costs.

How do you maintain confidentiality and intellectual property during teardowns?
All teardown and benchmarking programs are conducted in isolated, access-controlled facilities under strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and customer confidentiality protocols.
