Automate Cost Engineering

Building a technology calculator requires expertise, time, and a clear methodology. For most teams, that combination is scarce, which is why calculator creation remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in cost engineering.  

When a specific commodity needs its own calculator, organizations typically face a difficult choice: depend on their software vendor's roadmap, or revert to manual workarounds outside the system. 

Tset Studio’s Technology Module Framework is designed to remove that constraint. It allows cost engineering teams to build commodity-specific calculators directly in Tset Studio, modify existing Tset calculators to match their own logic, and version and manage them independently from Tset's release cycle, without involving developers. Additionally, commodity-specific calculators can be combined with each other to model entire assembly or systems. 

In this live webinar, we explain the reasoning behind this approach and demonstrate the framework in a live demo of Tset Studio. 

• Why calculator creation, not missing data, is the real bottleneck in scaling cost engineering across sourcing, design-to-cost, and quoting. 

• Why the creation of cost calculators should be independent from your software vendor, and what you lose when it is not.

• How to use existing Tset Studio’s calculators as a starting point: copy, adapt, and modify them to match your commodity logic without rebuilding from scratch 

• How to create a new cost calculator from scratch, version it, and manage it independently from the Tset Studio release cycle 
  
  

• How business-side cost experts can configure and deploy calculators without developer involvement 

• Live demo in Tset Studio: building, modifying, and versioning a commodity-specific calculator from start to finish.
