From September 2011 to June 2012 (10 months) Cost Engineering @ As a cost engineer I worrked with the supply base to evaulate all cost drivers within the value add processes, and how they transfered to the production floor in terms of burder rates. I created an actual cost model based on the open book information provided. As I createdthis model, I looked for "double dipping" opportunities, and also gaps in the current burdens being applied, vs the actual burdens identified based on cost. I then benchmarked the burden rates against other manufactures in like commodities, and look for best in class opportunities. I also put many current production parts through the models looking for gaps in current vs possible piece price based on actual cost, creating projects to close the gaps. Of the projects identified, my avg gap for closed projects was approximately 30%.
