Driving Profit Opportunities with aPriori's Cost Management
Platform
aPriori's patent-protected technology combines product design
information, production facility capabilities, and cost
structure, and customer-specific cost accounting methodology to
produce accurate real-time, predictive cost information.
According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori,
"Tangible competitive advantages are derived from thoroughly
understanding your company's business costs as well the
competitor's products and costs. Understanding function cost
trade-offs early in the product development life cycle combined
with visibility and ability to affect product cost through
manufacturing and delivery drive customer satisfaction and
profit opportunities." Azzilino argues, "A 1% decrease in COGS
(Cost-of-Goods Sold) can equate to 16 - 30% increase in net
income in many discrete manufacturing companies."
