The cost estimators at Essentra consolidate and verify the cost results in terms of plausibility, competitiveness, opportunities and risks with the help of the Profitability Analysis module in Teamcenter Product Cost Management. This involves a comprehensive overall analysis, which includes which costs are incurred, which revenues are calculated, how the cash flow is structured and what individual key figures look like.
“A better understanding of a project’s profitability and the effects of uncertainties, such as material price changes, currency fluctuations, etc., is now provided by Teamcenter Product Cost Management. This allows us to immediately approve financial offers.”
