Product Cost Decisions Throughout Product Lifecycle Impact
Bottom-Line
According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori, "Our
strategy is simple: enable discrete manufacturing companies to
identify and assess costs from the conceptual design through
production, and provide the means to leverage the existing
infrastructure and systems of record. As companies grasp the
flexibility and scalability of aPriori's solution, they will
significantly reduce COGS by accurately assessing and managing
costs early enough in the product development process to affect
the critical decisions that impact and control costs."
Realizing hard savings is only possible if discrete
manufacturing companies can satisfy today's demand for a direct
and measurable reduction of COGS. A clear and undisputed
characteristic of product delivery is that as much as 70% to 80%
of the total product cost is a direct result of the design
decisions made in the first 10% to 15% of the product
development process.
