Contechs use numerous tools and techniques for CWD engineering including Benchmarking and Competitive Range Analysis, Value Analysis and Engineering, Data Mining and QAF Reviews as well as utilising a comprehensive data base of vehicles continuously updated with the aid of GAP analysis techniques by completing vehicle tear downs and benchmarking. CWD disciplines can be applied in all product areas (Body/Exterior, Interior Trim, Powertrain, Chassis, etc) from individual components through to commodity systems up to complete vehicle/model ranges. |

Contechs can often deliver cost and weight savings over and above those achieved by existing in-house initiatives and the service is enhanced by innovative invoicing models such as Deferred payments whereby some payment is withheld or set against pre agreed fixed targets and Fixed Price payments which are directly linked to CWD gateways whereby the customer pays upon achievement of pre-determined targets. |
