How Does The PCB Industry Control Project R & D Costs?

In recent years, with the rapid development of communications, PCB industry as the basis of electronic information industry, new products, new technology requirements are getting higher and higher. Project development has become the core content of the PCB enterprise development. However, with the continuous increase in R & D projects, how to control the project R & D costs get more and more attention. Let us discuss how to control project R & D costs.

Project R & D costs, in a broad sense, contains the design (R & D) cost, manufacturing costs, sales costs. We should have a forward-looking cost control to the cost of research and development process control as the starting point of the entire project cost control, this is the key to product control costs.

1.set the target cost

At the beginning of the project development, we must set a target cost,  produced products, the cost of required materials, manufacturing costs controlled below a certain amount to ensure that the future of the product manufacturing costs lower than the market price, ensure that the price competitive advantage.

2.remove the expansion costs

When customers buy products, the most concerned about is the \"cost-effective\", so in the development process, we have to abandon some product features that customers do not need, excluding its expansion costs. Should be product industrialization for the purpose, pursue the best cost-effective, this developed products not only low cost, but also have more market competitiveness, become the best-selling products.

3.reduce communication costs

In the process of project development, communication plays a vital role, reducing communication costs has become one of the core means of controlling R & D costs.

4.improve research and development efficiency

To control the cost of R & D, need to improve the efficiency of research and development, quickly develop the results.

In addition, PCB industry enterprises in R & D management, we should strive to build such as mechanical sheet metal, electrical and electronic, software algorithms and other technical modules as a unit of the design program database, form shared resources, so that technical personnel can quickly quote, improve research and development efficiency.

5.launched the project as scheduled

In the project development, enterprises should combine the project work, customer needs and material support and other factors to develop a scientific and rigorous project overall plan and module plan, promote and implement, complete the work within the specified time.
