Own the official costed BOM and system/pod roll-up by platform, generation, configuration, build phase, volume, and mix. Maintain version control and traceability to quotes, source owners, assumptions, and engineering revisions.
Publish and maintain the system/pod cost and price baseline, reconciling component pricing and manufacturing-partner inputs with approved configurations and planning assumptions.
Partner with housing and site teams to integrate their cost inputs into product economics, documenting scope, timing, allocation assumptions, and gaps so platform comparisons are consistent and avoid double counting.
Analyze actual, forecast, quoted, committed, and purchase-price costs against the baseline. Explain material variances, identify root causes, and track recovery actions with accountable owners and dates.
Validate savings and cost avoidance with Finance and accountable source owners. Distinguish identified opportunities, approved actions, and realized benefits, including offsets and implementation costs.
Establish cost-data definitions, BOM hierarchy, allocation methods, currency and volume assumptions, refresh expectations, and change-control processes. Flag stale, incomplete, or unsupported inputs before they affect decisions.
