How the Bridge Model Works — A Real Example
MBR Module Redesign | From my career at Mann+Hummel
1
Understand the Cost Drivers (Germany)
Studied the existing module design. Met directly with suppliers to understand what was driving manufacturing cost — material, processes, assembly complexity.
2
Redesign Concepts (Germany — Me)
Created multiple redesign concepts targeting 50% cost reduction. Performed manual load calculations to confirm structural feasibility. Got fresh quotes from suppliers for each concept to validate actual cost savings. Selected the concept closest to the 50% target.
3
Simulation & Detailing (India — Coordinated)
Shared the selected concept with Indian engineering counterparts. They performed FEA — buckling analysis, clean load cases, lifting loads — and CFD for the redesigned distributor. Partners optimized the design based on simulation results and produced all detailed manufacturing drawings.
4
Prototyping (Germany — Local Suppliers)
Passed final drawings to German suppliers for prototype fabrication. Managed the prototype build, verified against requirements.
