aPriori Impacts Discrete Manufacturers' Bottom-line by Capturing
Production Facility Data
According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori,
"aPriori 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."
Out-of-the-box sample production facilities represent a variety
of global production facilities. The common manufacturing
processes include sheetmetal, fabrication, injection-molding,
3-axis machining, turn, assembly welding, surface treatment, die
casting. Azzolino commented, "We also provide many other
processes with customizable models to support unique
customer-specific processes."
Advanced "should-cost" analysis incorporates cost estimates for

supplier production plants to enable more efficient supplier
selection and fact-based negotiations.
