Non-Linear Performance Pricing (NLPP)

The powerful analysis solution for price analysis, cost optimization, benchmarking and price estimation.

  • See savings and benchmarks per part number: NLPP calculates three benchmarks (Worst Practice, Target and Best Practice) per part number. So you know the target price and a realistic price range even before you negotiate.
  • Savings by supplier, product group or other criteria: With NLPP you can quickly perform "what-if" analyzes and immediately see the effect on your purchasing volume.
  • Use the results as a reporting baseline: NLPP results are very well suited to make success measurable and objectively evaluated.
  • Use the precise NLPP price estimates in daily business: With NLPP, you can calculate precise price estimates for all types of part families in seconds. No more delays due to supplier RFQs.
  • Integrate NLPP price estimates into your IT systems: Use NLPP target price formulas in your IT systems for active and agile cost management in your product lifecycle.
  • Connect sales, development and purchasing: Your engineering understands which design change influences the manufacturing costs by what degree and how much customers are willing to spend for a specific feature. Quick and accurate.

How NLPP works

NLPP analyzes product prices by performance and shows you which products have good or bad value for money.

With NLPP you know the correct price before you negotiate with suppliers.
Mit NLPP kennen Sie den korrekten Preis, bevor Sie mit Lieferanten verhandeln. Dieser Perspektivwechsel ist eine neue Erfahrung für Einkäufer.
NLPP is easy to use because it uses data you already have. The price, the quantity and properties that are important to you like weight, diameter, power, width, etc. These are the price-drivers.
NLPP ist einfach anzuwenden, da es Ihre vorhandenen Daten nutzt: Preis, Menge und Preistreiber wie Gewicht, Durchmesser, Drehmoment, Breite etc.
Sie erstellen einfach eine Excel-Datei mit den Angaben zu Preis, Menge und Preistreibern für einige bereits gekaufte Produkte.
You just collect the price, quantity and price-drivers for a couple of your already purchased parts into a spreadsheet.
Sie importieren die Daten 1:1 in NLPP und arbeiten mit der gleichen Struktur wie bisher. NLPP unterstützt beliebig viele Spalten und Zeilen.
You then import the CSV file into NLPP, identify which columns are your price, quantity and price drivers, and let NLPP start its calculations.
Through the magic of mathematics, NLPP creates from your data a price-prediction / price-estimation formula by which the correct price can be calculated.
Mit der Magie der Mathematik berechnet NLPP aus Ihren Daten eine Preisformel.
0.122 - 0.009 * 'Länge' + 0.005 * 'Gewicht' + 0.011 * 'Durchmesser' - 0.001 * 'Kraft' = Soll-Preis
0.122 - 0.009 * 'Length' + 0.005 * 'Weight' + 0.011 * 'Diameter' - 0.001 * 'Torque' = should-cost
The NLPP formula is your key to success. It’s the thing that tells you the correct price you should pay. Now let’s cross-check your current pricing.
Die NLPP Preisformel ist der Schlüssel zu Ihren Einsparungen. Die Preisformel liefert Ihnen den Preis, den Sie zahlen sollten.
NLPP calculates a “should-cost,” or target price, for each part using the price-prediction formula.
NLPP berechnet mit dieser Preisformel den Soll- / Zielpreis für jede Teilenummer.
NLPP zeigt Ihnen das Ergebnis grafisch an. Sie erkennen sofort, welche Teile ein Einsparpotenzial haben.
NLPP shows you the result graphically. You don’t have to crawl through endless Excel lines. Just take a look and you will immediately see which products have potential savings.

NLPP berechnet zwei weitere Benchmarks: "Worst Practice" und "Best Practice". Damit kennen Sie zusätzlich die obere und untere Grenze des gerechtfertigten Preises für jede Teilenummer.
NLPP calculates 2 additional benchmarks for you: Best Price and Worst Price You will really know for sure what the upper and lower prices of your parts should be. You know it even better than the supplier.

Mit den NLPP Ergebnissen verhandeln Sie anders als bisher: Der Lieferant muss Ihnen nun nicht nachvollziehbare Preisunterschiede zwischen ähnlichen Teilen erklären.
Now that you have the power of NLPP’s results in your hands, you negotiate in a different way than before: The supplier now needs to explain to you why prices differ so much between mostly similar parts.
Ihre neue Perspektive auf Nutzen & Wert im Verhältnis zum Preis führt dazu, dass Sie für Ihre Teile das beste Preis-Leistungsverhältnis erzielen.
Since you switched from a cost view to a performance view, your reward is, that your parts have the best possible price performance ratio.

FAQs

Answers to the most important questions about the NLPP methodology and solution.

NLPP can handle several thousands of records. The largest known record consists of 15,000 articles.

NLPP can handle any number of features. However, it does not make sense to use as many features as possible in one calculation. The motto "Much helps a lot" does not apply.

No. NLPP processes data where the information is organized in columns and one record per line. The order of the columns does not matter.

The calculation time depends on the number of data records, the number of features used and the "structure of the data".

Most NLPP analyzes require less than 30s of computation time.

No. NLPP can work with gaps in the data. If a feature is used in a calculation and there are records where that feature is missing, these records are automatically disregarded.
