  1. Product cost management
  2. Design-to-value.

Although there are 1001 ways to fail at the tactical level of the project in either of these methodologies, it turns out that a lot of times these efforts fail because of executive failures in the project. Eric covers the 10 most common ways that you can sink a DtV or PCM project… and more importantly, how to avoid them!

Hello operational improvement fans!

Apparently Eric hiller is cheating on us these days with his own personal website (www.eric-hiller.com). But, we are still happy to pass on his work to you.  He just wrote a new piece for medium.com called:

Eric Hiller Provides Operational and Process Improvement Tips

This article is targeted toward executives and high level consultants that are trying to affect a process transformation in their organizations.

Certainly there are 1001 ways to fail in a process transformation in the organization, but in this article Eric’s only going to focus on the top ten (well, 11). On the other hand, if you get these 11 right, you probably will avoid 90% of the pitfalls!

Good morning again, product and service cost management aficionados,

You’ve been waiting for it for awhile I’m sure ! Who doesn’t wait with bated breath for the next installment of knowledge in the product cost management world?  Our founder, Eric Hiller, has been very busy with a lot of things lately, but he just completed the herculean task of doing a deep dive review on the SEER by Galorath (published at Spend Matters, where he been filling out a whole series on PCM tools, started with two articles in December 2019 (here and here)

Those of you in the product cost management world, especially if you are in the aerospace and defense industries, know a lot about the SEER suite. It’s been around for over 30 years now, growth in products, depth, and breadth. Much like Eric’s review on aPriori, which was so deep we had to explode it into two parts, the Gallery app suite is so broad that’s been matters needed to split the article into two. Apparently, it’s also so valuable it’s behind their firewall.

Here they are!:
