Overall Satisfaction with aPriori Product Cost Management
aPriori's ability to be calibrated and customized to our specific uses allows us to fill in the gaps. We especially like and use the Cost Model Workbench for the ability to create User Guided models which are not available as well as models we can use when 3D files are not available. One business area we have been able to work on is identifying gaps where we could not model costs in the past. Now we can build cost models to do those. This provides extra resources in providing target costs and is useful in supplier discussions.
- The ability to create User Guided models which are not available as well as models we can use when 3D files are not available.
- aPriori gives a lot of data as outputs. Would like to see a cleaner interface and one where we can get to the fields I want to see easier.
- Customizing reports more simply would be a benefit as well.
- It has allowed us to turn around requests in record time
- It has allowed us real time collaboration and trade off analysis
- It has allowed us to support engineering and BOM development earlier in design phase
- DFMA
We needed a fully customizable tool that was based on a database platform. Others we used did not allow this for us.
