aPriori Offers Industry-first Predictive Cost Analysis for
Machined Products Line
According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori, "We
off an industry first cost analysis for machined
products...real-time, predictive cost estimates for turned and
3-axis machined products throughout the entire product delivery
process."
The new technology broadens visibility to the cost impact of
trade-offs between performance, quality, price, and delivery for
a wide array of industries and products. It provides abilities
to capture cost-relevant design information, production facility
data, and cost accounting methodology to accurately explore cost
saving alternatives in the design, manufacturing, sourcing, and
management of product programs.
Azzolino asserts that, "Cost visibility begets business agility.
Exposure to real-time product costs at any time, by all who
impact costs from conceptual design through production and
delivery, allows users to evaluate product design,
manufacturing, and sourcing alternatives before making critical
decisions that drive costs." Always knowing product costs
prevents surprises, missed cost targets and rework, schedule
delays, and missed market windows.
