OEM Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) and Purchase Price Variance (PPV) Cost Tracker

NPI & Product Launch | DOCX | $99

NRE costs should be specific to your program. They should not include costs the provider amortizes across other customers. But unless you require the provider to disclose and itemize every NRE charge upfront, you have no way to verify that. This tracker enforces transparency with a three-stage payment strategy tying NRE to program milestones: one-third at tooling release, one-third at production validation, one-third at first customer shipment.

Includes itemized cost tables for program tooling with hard and soft tool designation and life-usage quantities, assembly tooling, engineering development, testing with in-house versus external designation, prototypes across proof-of-concept through PVT stages, and certifications. Each table captures cost, ownership designation, and identification of one-time versus recurring charges. Requires provider sign-off confirming all NRE has been disclosed and that charges are specific to the OEM's program. If they will not fill it out, ask yourself why.

This document is delivered as an editable Word file (.docx) so you can customize it for your specific program requirements.
