Virtual Teardown
Competitive Benchmarking
is the key to establish market leadership in product functionality at optimal
pricing in the current global scenario. As customer expectations on product
functionality increase while the increasing costs keep the margins under
pressure, competitive benchmarking helps in maintaining the bottom line.
The process has three distinctive areas covering systematic teardown, functional testing, and cost analysis as follows:
Level I: Basic Teardown
Tear-down activities
Physical data collection
Photographs
Generation of BoM
Level II: Functional Testing
Functional performance testing comparison and report
Level III: Competitive Cost Analysis
Cost comparison
Value Engineering
Function-to-Cost Analysis
Idea Generation
Business Cases Preparation, and
Final Report
When it can be used:
Prior to product launching
While deciding the next generation product features
Before initiating Value Analysis / Value Engineering (VA/VE) exercise
When repositioning the product in the market
