2. Supplier cost breakdown : build supplier costbreakdown according to the bill of material.
3. Costing simulation : assess products price level under the same conditions of the suppliers consulted.
4. Supplier offer comparison : assess and negotiate the technical and commercial proposal of the suppliers in line with the costbreakdown raised and according to the different costs factors. Look and keep in mind during the negotitation phase at the total cost cost of ownership by selecting the best proposal which includes maintenace and parts assembly
5. Reliability assessment: mesure the costing performance between tender phase and project phase . Analyse the discrepancies factually and provide factual datas to the project manager.
6. Costing modifications: assess the cost impact of each modification linked to scope change and/or process change on a current design already provided and contractualized to the supplier.
