aPriori Product Cost Management Solutions

Costing Without Complexity

The aPriori Product Cost Management software platform is the first software solution to provide discrete manufacturers and product companies with real-time product cost assessments throughout the entire development and production process.

aPriori’s revolutionary product cost management capabilities empower organisations to identify quantifiable savings in material, tooling, labour and overhead when evaluating alternative designs, manufacturing processes and sources. With access to real-time cost assessments throughout the product development process, employees in sourcing, engineering and manufacturing will make well-informed decisions that drive significant costs out of products pre- and post-production.

Through an innovative, patented understanding of how product design, materials and manufacturing processes translate into product costs, aPriori replaces traditional, inefficient cost-estimation techniques (such as activity-based costing, contract quoting or statistical analysis) with precise cost assessments that update in real-time as parameters change. aPriori provides true cost visibility to everyone in the organization that impacts cost – designers, manufacturing engineers and planners, purchasing and sourcing professionals, cost managers, program management and executives.
