Determining how to prioritize cost reduction projects for replacing subcomponents composing an assembled product with new subcomponents is described. To this end, forecast sales data for subcomponents composing the assembled product is received. Utilizing the forecast sales data, a cost savings schedule for subcomponents of costs saved by introducing the new subcomponents is then determined. The total cost savings for each cost reduction project is then calculated. The cost reduction projects are then ordered according to their respective total cost savings to determine which cost reduction projects should be pursued.
