When pricing is based on optimistic assumptions, costs are most aggressive and prices are most competitive, but profits are put at risk. On the opposite, one may avoid risks by using pessimistic assumptions. This however leads to most conservative cost assessments and a less competitive pricing.

As a typical way out of this dilemma, pricing is done by striking a balance between risk taking and price competitiveness: it is done for average assumptions. However, this solution is not satisfactory, as it results in an average price competitiveness while still having to bear some level of risks about profitability. Ideal for manufacturers would be to leave this ‘either-or’ logic for an ‘either-and’ one. Indeed, we do not want to choose between competitive pricing or profitability, we want both at once.

In this webinar, we will discuss how to reach that aim and how the FACTON Cost Management solution enables the cost assessment for a variety of production strategies.
