A Few Words on:
Supplier Cost Technical Optimization (SCTO)
• Process used on current production parts
• Seek to reduce the cost of a part without impact to
performance
• Eliminate features that add no true value but incur cost
• Improvement in quality and/or eliminate waste in the value
stream
Recovers “Avoidable” costs throughout the product life

SCTO Examples
• Change materials or specifications of materials
• Change dimensions or tolerances
• Reduce unnecessary test requirements
• Logistics or packaging improvements
• Manufacturing process improvements or elimination
• Improvements that reduce warranty costs
• Changes that improve manufacturing costs at Lear
• Inventory management improvements
• Alternate component and/or construction

of sales to Lear

mutually determined by Lear and the supplier to count
towards the supplier’s SCTO ideas target
