Abstract
The main issues for manufacturing performance are moving to the first phases of the product life cycle (Design and Planning). To meet that challenge, Target-Costing appears more and more as the answer : internal performance objectives are established by deploying market price targets onto the different functions concerned (marketing, engineering, manufacturing…) , for that purpose a toolbox (value engineering, cost estimation…) and more important specific management practices (cross functional teams, project management…) must be used.
