In manufacturing, the measure of the quantity that matters is, of course, the cost or the cost of goods sold (COGS). Traditionally, the industry adopted a "mirror backwards approach to product costing," said Frank Azzolino, president of CONCORD, Mass.-based priori target = "_blank"> (www.apriori.com).
Azzolino company is promoting the technology, he said he expects that, in essence, reverse mirror, to plunge in the cost estimates in early design. The technology integrates directly with CAD, incorporates information on the process and potential ways and may appear as a "cost-ticket" at the bottom right of the screen. The cost estimates and detailed analysis can be seen in a web browser too. You want to change the geometry, material property or other? The cost in terms of changes automatically. According to the company, like most design decisions are made, the more accurate the cost estimate becomes the corner.
This is not as simple as a display screen, Azzolino said. The estimated weight on the various factors that the user may change, depending on the cost of different materials for them, three-axis machining for the manufacture of sheet metal and welding, the study of relationship of various geometric elements in each process.
"We will also examine the information on equipment "Azzolino said," different routes, machines and different processes, and feeds and speeds that lead to them. "
a priori of Cost Management Software Platform enables manufacturers to better understand the decisions of product cost at the beginning and throughout the lifecycle of the product. Priori Cost Management Platform enables manufacturers to reduce the cost of goods sold (COGS), provides real-time visibility to "cost-critical" decision information, and develops the critical cost knowledge to go into business "offensive." a priori patented platform management costs allows companies to assess, control and reduce the cost of goods sold by whole percentages. The platform enables a priori knowledge before things cost. "
A priori has clients in a variety of industries including high technology, industrial equipment, automotive and heavy equipment. More Customers credits include recent John Deere, Panasonic, Thomas & Betts, Flextronics, JLG, and Dana Corporation. "
