Overall Satisfaction with aPriori Product Cost Management
aPriori is used in our cost management team. We are support functions in our organization that are responsible for the cost analyses. Our analyses are used across the organization. The cost analyses used for value-based negotiations, New Product Development pricing, spend optimizations for suppliers, reverse engineering, and value tracking for various commodities etc., Processes are updated to maintain the maturity of the cost results we get from it.
- Speed and capacity

- Customization of the cost logic is tricky.
- Full products costing & process involved in the proprietary parts are less or not available for costing
- Sheet metal logics for costing may be improved.
- Focus on Electronics Cost models
- Electronics - Component Costings
- We are able to set value based negotiations with the suppliers based on the facts or analysis generated by aPriori
- We get good savings based on the facts provided.
- We are good & consistent on the savings.
Currently, we have not evaluated any other software since aPriori gives most of the things that we want. The kind of reports it gives has enormous information which is used in the discussions & for concrete decisions. Mostly the cost outliers are easy to identify if we take the parts of a particular supplier. The analysis can be used to provide insight for resourcing etc., which gives good savings for the company.
