Thiesen's book clearly explains an approach to reducing product costs despite the macro environment. The examples are clear and the results compelling. Many product mangers and product developers in the industrial and consumer products sectors will find C-O-S-T a helpful solution when tasked with significant cost reduction targets with no quality trade-offs.
