Real-time "Cost-Critical" Decision Information Expanded with
aPriori
According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori, "For
today's companies to remain agile, they require real-time
visibility to cost-critical information for the many important
decisions that impact costs prior to product delivery. This
visibility must be immediate, available in a commonly understood
language and accessible to all who impact costs in the process
across the enterprise."
Predictive real-time cost assessments provide all involved in
the cost process. "What if" cost trade-off analysis from
component to assembly to product to production facility level is
available with the aPriori Cost Management Platform, the first
solution to bring much needed innovation to the discrete
manufacturing industry.
Advanced 'should-cost' analysis incorporates cost estimates for
customer's in-house facilities, generic industry and global
supplier production plants to enable more efficient supplier
selection and fact-based negotiations.
True-Cost Convergence, developed by aPriori, provides early
cost-assessments for the designer from the beginning of the
product development cycle that naturally converge to production
level costs estimates as manufacturing and procurement finalize
decisions.
