Physical Analysis of the Device, Step by Step Reconstruction of the Process Flow Cost of Manufacturing and Estimation of Selling Price

Electronics.ca Publications is proud to publish the reverse costing report of the 9971 IP Phone supplied by Cisco.

The Cisco Unified 9971 is a high-end IP Phone featuring a 6-inch color touchscreen display. High-definition voice, desktop Wi-Fi connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet are available. Accessories, sold separately, include a Video Camera and an IP Color Key Expansion Module.

This report provides complete teardown of the Phone with:

        · Detailed photos
        · Material analysis
        · Assembling Process Flow
        · In-depth economical analysis
        · Manufacturing cost breakdown
        · Selling price estimation

The report is delivered with a PowerPoint file (96 pages) including all the results, photos and comments, and an Excel file which enables you to modify some parameters (prices, rates) to analyze their influence on the results.

Benefits:

- Analyze the cost of projects at the R&D level
- Enhance the negotiation power of purchasing managers
- Benchmark competitor’s products
