Cost And Value Engineering Professional SI P CVE CAO

Job Profile: Cost and Value Engineering

Contribute to competitiveness and profitability of products and solutions through application of Cost and Value Engineering levers and methods.

Expert in the Siemens-wide CVE network

Contribute expertise to the Siemens-wide CVE network, focusing on certain commodities within the assigned Division/BU.

Transparency of production processes

Maintain knowledge about production technology and costing in specific material field.

Apply appropriate tools for Cost Analysis and Optimization (CAO), Supply Chain Productivity Improvement (SPI) and Design to Value (DtC) along the PLM / PM process

Cost target setting

Compile feasible costs per component as basis for bottom-up target indication and cost split.

Propose alternative manufacturing scenarios and quantification of potentials to Procurement functions, in particular Procurement Engineering (PE), and cross functions.

Design to Cost and Standardization

Calculate cost base lining and regular cost updates for components acc. to maturity of design

Challenge requirements and related costs as basis for proposals of DtC measures to R&D, product management and PEs along the Design process, and quantify financial impact expectation.

Supply Chain Productivity Improvement (SPI)

Generate transparency in supplier processes, applied technologies and related costs

Identify and quantify improvement potentials, contribute transparency to negotiations

Coach suppliers in technology-based and lean optimization of their supply chain

Cost and value models and design rules

Establish cost and value models as well as design rules that use information on specific production processes, production equipment, suppliers and related costs

Maintain and provide benchmark data on design characteristics (e.g. material thickness, surface quality, curvature) and related costs.

Role

In the context of cost and value engineering, we are looking for a key expert for the systematic modeling and management of infrastructure and data. As a key expert, you will be responsible for creating, maintaining and continuously improving cost models of manufacturing technologies and end products.

Your tasks will include the creation of cost and emission models in coordination with your own team and relevant interface functions, e.g. R&D and product management.

You create and manage the required system. They prepare their know-how and results and transfer them to the CVE organization and create management reports on the progress.

You will act as the first point of contact for our expert software for both colleagues and the software provider (e.g. for new functions).

You will identify optimization and improvement potential in existing calculation processes and implement the improvements with the aim of increasing the efficiency and quality of analyses and calculations. You will implement simpler automation solutions yourself or act as a project manager for more complex automation solutions.

In addition, you will identify further automation needs and digitalization, look for solutions and drive implementation.

Your future tasks will also include the conception and implementation of a CVE application/dashboard for smart and fast calculations and reports.

Constantly you inform yourself about new software solutions and innovations from suppliers and their potential for SI .

Competencies

The basis of your success is a bachelor degree in business informatics, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or a related discipline.

Building on this, you have several years of professional experience (12 to 15 years+) in cost and value engineering

You can use common MS Office applications and a product cost management tool such as TCPM or TSET

Knowledge of Python, SQL and big data analytics as well as expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning is a plus

Intercultural experience as well as very good presentation and skills for communication with global CVE / Siemens team (in English)
