The recent commercialization of the Product Lifecycle Analytics (PLA) product suite from Akoya, Inc. (Northfield, IL) gives product managers a data-driven platform that aims to assess the total cost impact of a product's design throughout the project.
Research has shown that 80 percent of the design cycle can be spent re-working the product to meet cost parameters. With Akoya PLA, designs can be evaluated for cost-effectiveness during conception and throughout the product design and its lifecycle. Akoya PLA is said to analyze part features and construct "baseline target cost" curves for ongoing reviews.
