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
