Medical Device Cost Tear-Down

Your product is selling.
But is it still built at the right cost?

A mature product can carry years of hidden cost in materials, parts, specifications, suppliers and manufacturing choices. We help you find where that cost sits - and which savings are actually worth pursuing.

= What is actually worth pursuing?

Why is this cost still there?

Because finding a cheaper option is easy. so hard to act on?

Your team may already suspect where the cost is. What stops the decision is the uncertainty around what the change could trigger.

01

Purchasing has already pushed price

Negotiation cannot undo an old design or specification decision.

02

Engineering sees possible changes

But an in-market device is not easy to change casually.

03

A saving can create more work

Tooling, supplier qualification, verification, validation or documentation.

04

So it becomes "not now"

And "not now" can quietly become years.

Where could the cost be hiding?

We look at the whole product - not just the BOM price.

One mature device is reviewed from every place that can create unnecessary or outdated cost.

DesignCan the product be simpler?
MaterialsAre they still the best technical and commercial choice?
ComponentsAny expensive, duplicated, ageing or over-specified parts?
Specifications & tolerancesAre you paying for more than the product needs?
ManufacturingCan it be produced more efficiently?
AssemblyCan part count or assembly effort come down?
Suppliers & sourcingAny benchmarking, localization or consolidation opportunity?
Tooling & processDo old manufacturing choices still make sense at today's volume?

The Real Opportunity

What is actually worth pursuing

Illustrative preview. The actual result depends on the information you provide.

How do we find what is worth changing?

From one device to a clear,
ranked action plan.

The Process

01

Understand the device

BOM, drawings, specifications, volume, supplier and cost information.

02

Find the opportunities

Review design, materials, components, manufacturing, assembly and sourcing.

03

Check what each change may involve

Engineering, tooling, qualification, verification, validation and documentation.

04

Rank what is worth pursuing

Compare the possible saving with the likely effort.

05

Give you a clear plan

What to look at first, what needs more engineering, and what may not be worth touching.

Illustrative only - your device produces its own opportunity map.

Start Small. Prove it on one product.

At least 3 costed opportunities -

Questions you may have

Quick questions

VAVE principles may be part of the approach, but the question is simpler: where can this product save cost, and which savings are worth pursuing once the likely change effort is considered?

No. Some opportunities may come from sourcing, benchmarking or consolidation. Others may need engineering change. The point is to separate them before you invest effort.

No. We identify and assess opportunities. Realised savings depend on engineering confirmation, supplier outcomes and implementation. The pilot commitment is about the number of costed opportunities identified.

It depends on the device. BOM, drawings, specifications, volume, supplier and cost information help us go deeper. We agree the scope and information required before work begins.

Because it keeps the engagement focused and measurable. We would rather prove the approach on one real product before expanding further.

Usually Engineering and Procurement, with Quality and Manufacturing consulted where relevant. You do not need a large committee to start.

Start With One Device

Bring us one mature device.
We will help you see what may be worth
changing - and what it could take.

Find the cost. Understand the change. Decide what deserves action first.

One device. One clear decision.

Do not start with "How do we cut 10%?"

Start with a better question: where is the cost - and which of it is actually worth taking out?

We examine one mature device, find the opportunities, estimate what they could be worth, consider what each change may involve, and hand you a ranked path forward.
