Home Appliances

ASI Engineering is one of the few dedicated cost engineering teams in the world serving home appliance makers as a major part of their business. For over five years, we've enabled organization-wide should costing and cost reduction across all products using our proprietary platforms, xcPEP and xcPROC.

Since 2021, xcPEP has been constantly upgraded incorporating needs of home appliance makers — tackling higher percentage of proprietary parts, large number of SKUs, shorter product lifecycles and competition from vertically integrated Chinese brands.

Mapped for a typical split AC.

Below are turnkey services where we collaborate with home appliance makers on focused cost initiatives. All services are delivered using xcPEP and xcPROC.

We build full product or part-level should-costs for assemblies like compressors, motors, PCBs, and housings using CAD, teardowns, and supplier RFQs.

We benchmark your appliance with competitor across cost drivers to generate cost reduction ideas.

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

We set up a cost lab, create SOPs, train your team on live projects, and ensure it's fully operational.

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.
