‘Design to value’ enables industrial vehicle manufacturers to embed cost, performance and customer value from the earliest design stages. By integrating engineering, supply chain and manufacturing with digital tools like digital twins and should-cost models, organizations can accelerate innovation, improve margins and build resilient, competitive products in an increasingly complex global environment. The discussion will highlight practical approaches to aligning product engineering with supply chain and factory operations, enabling faster time-to-market, improved margins and resilient product strategies. Attendees will gain actionable insights on how to operationalize DTV across complex, global manufacturing environments with real success case references !

• Embedding value early in product design – embedding cost, performance and manufacturability early through cross-functional collaboration
• Leveraging digital for decision-making – how digital twins, should-cost models and analytics enable data-driven decisions
• Driving cross-functional alignment – aligning engineering, supply chain and operations through governance and shared metrics
