Overall Satisfaction with aPriori Product Cost Management
We use aPriori for our product should-costing which can be further used for negotiation with our suppliers. We also use aPriori for our cost down/NPD projects so that we can evaluate the design changes with respect to cost. In our organization, we are the only ones using this tool and supporting all the segments.
- Excellent cost model maturity level
- Reliable data library for different regions
- Precise should-cost have well-defined cost drivers
- Spreadsheet report flexibility with cost insights
- Cutting parameters and logic for milling process need to be reviewed and refined
- Super-finishing processes need to be added
- Increased efficiency in delivering our projects.
- Leverage to look into product cost at design level.
- More saving realizations we can see and use for negotiation.
I haven't used any other costing tool apart from aPriori so far, but I've heard tools like GeneralCOST Estimator are also available in the market for costing.
