You’re held accountable for margin, without the signal to control it.
Finance teams in Tier 1 and 2 suppliers are expected to forecast margin precisely, explain variance quickly, and defend results to leadership and OEMs.
But the data lives in disconnected systems and tribal spreadsheets: so the “why” shows up late, and recovery becomes reactive.

Engineering changes tracked in email threads, not tied to cost impact.
Premium freight and launch costs discovered after the fact.
Forecast accuracy depends on manual rollups and heroics.
Recovery opportunities missed because documentation is scattered.

Engineering change cost governance.
Capture and quantify EC impact with traceability. Reduce “EC whack-a-mole” by tying changes to margin and recovery actions. Support audit readiness and internal controls.
Forecast accuracy and leadership confidence.
