近些年来，产品开发领域所呈现的挑战发生了翻天覆地的变化。 在许多行业细分市场中，市场与客户需求的复杂度不断攀升，而生命周期却在不断缩短。 为满足全球市场中不同客户的多样需求，产品组合也逐步趋向多元化。 各种企业范围内的要求必须得到满足，以确保法规符合性。 由于受到不完整信息以及不稳定成本组件的影响，提早判断新产品的成本非常困难。 如果计算过程使用一系列不同的界面，并且过程当中可能涉及不同的国际分支机构，那么该过程将显现明显的不足。 许多公司仍在使用孤立的数据库和电子表格，甚至会将其用于开发前期的利润率计算。 如此会招致一定的风险，即，决策制定所依据的数据集可能不完整。

Profitability calculation enables executives to secure product investments by predicting future unit costs and prices over the entire product lifecycle.
Profitability calculation with Teamcenter product costing
With the profitability calculation, you can calculate the profitability of projects over the entire lifecycle early in the development process. Since a large part of the production costs are already established in the early phase, this capability is a decisive factor for the identification of successful projects. Through the state-of-the-art integration technology, you can easily reuse costing relevant data from SAP ERP systems. Based on this information from the product calculation, the capital expenditure can be calculated for the upcoming project. The dynamic profitability calculation in Teamcenter indicates the expected price and cost changes over the life cycle. The profitability calculation provides a cash flow calculation and an overview of all indicators along the product supply chain. Based on the discounted cash flow, the profitability calculation provides various key performance indicators, for example, net present value, internal rate of return, and payback to assess the profitability of projects.
