Consumer Electronics

In the fast-moving world of consumer electronics, understanding what drives cost at the board and EMS level is critical. That’s where our SaaS platforms, xcPEP and xcPROC, come in—giving teams the clarity they need to manage complexity, scale decisions, and stay ahead of cost pressures.

ASI Engineering, one of the few global teams focused solely on cost engineering works with leading brands in costing, cost benchmarking and cost reduction studies.

BOM cost sum alone isn’t enough. Every part of every SKU needs detailed, updated calculation of materials, manufacturing, logistics, forex, and overheads. xcPEP delivers that.

Used in calculation of PCB manufacturing process cost.
And more products torn down and costed
With more than half of them being EVs.
And more data points

Below are services where we engage with customers on a project basis. Our services are built on top of and delivered using xcPEP and xcPROC.

We deliver accurate should-costs for products or assemblies like PCBs, batteries, plastics, and displays using BOMs, 3D data, teardowns, and supplier benchmarks.

We benchmark your product against competitor across cost drivers to generate cost reduction ideas.

We tailor xcPEP to your products, suppliers, and locations, and build custom raw material, MHR, and LHR datasets.

We set up a cost lab in your organization, develops SOPs, train your team through live projects and deliver a functional cost lab.

Deployment & Cost Lab BOT are services where ASI Engineering team ensures xcPEP is configured and used effectively.

How are we different?

At our core, we build cost engineering technology. Our primary focus is on xcPEP and xcPROC, while our engineering services are designed to support and accelerate customer adoption of our ecosystem. At times, the activities we perform or the functions we enable may make us appear similar to management consulting firms or benchmarking companies. However, these similarities are only superficial.
