Costing suits to every Organization
Comentários: Simple , Agile, On the Fly Costing
Vantagens:
1. Software helps to link all the platform available i.e ERP, CFD, SAP system 2. Mode FRONTIER is another that helps to do costing for various parameters thereby helping in achieving the best optimize cost for the required parameter 3. Target Costing/ Value Tracking report helps in the New Product Development 4. Cost Insight design/reporting is another positivity for aPriori which helps to visualize for the business meeting and cost outlier analysis etc..
Desvantagens:
Required good server for the Speed in the costing the parts but aPriori has solution where they are bringing in the Web-Based Costing in near future

It is a One Size Fits All tool for Product Lifecycle
Comentários: A great experience working in aPriori and dealing with aPriori support team who is always ready to help and support on all issues. Personally like their professional approach to resolve the issues as soon as possible.
Vantagens:
aPriori gives a wide range of options in costing and analysis that is most suitable for all stakeholders during a product development or product improvement lifecycle. It is a great tool in hands of engineers to evaluate early impacts of Cost and also helps understands manufacturing limitations and design rule violations through Design to Cost feedback. Also a great tool to understand alternate design or alternate manufacturing evaluations. It is an essential tool in hands of cost engineers to understand and quickly simulate different scenarios of cost in various regions and various parameters. A great tool for Purchasing to understand the details of cost breakdown and negotiate with suppliers on arguable parameters. aPriori also provides Business Intelligence tool with Cost Insight Reporting that is very much helpful for Project Managers to keep track of the project status and cost targets. Overall, aPriori would be a great tool for any industry that is looking to excel in industry with right evaluated approach and good understanding of Cost of the product. Thank You.
Desvantagens:
There are certain process group not available in aPriori to cost such as Hydraulic Hoses, Black Box, Valves, Assembly/welding tooling etc. These processes are highly used in industries and would be essential to have in aPriori expertise.
aPriori comments
Comentários: It's a good upfront design for cost tool. In addition, it's a reasonable should cost & supplier quote analysis tool. The challenge from a team member buy-in standpoint is that we have a few big wins and more cases where we didn't get useful results from aPriori analysis. From an overall perspective, the big wins probably justify the cases where it didn't work out so well, but team members who spent a lot of time & effort without good results get a negative view of aPriori and its capabilities.
Vantagens:
Upfront ability to determine costing during the design phase. Objective & detailed analysis of component cost, including optimal processing.
Desvantagens:
In some cases the recommendations from aPriori of diametrically opposed to what we find in our supply base. For example, recommending ductile cast iron over gray cast iron on a pound for pound cost base. We don't have any evidence from our supply base that this is true. This case discouraged use of aPriori for several key team members.

Expert product management tool with focus Engineering
Comentários: precise material cost simulations based on 3D CAD models, manufacturing and assembly simulations of more complex assemblies need higher amount of manual adjustment, useful out-of-the-box reports and interfaces with MS Office 365, PLM and ERP
Vantagens:
professional expert software with interesting and useful reverse/cost engineering features and interfaces for diverse standard ERP and PLM software, knowledge database and training documentation
Desvantagens:
maintenance, training and customization needs higher amount of (external) expertise and resources
3D model engine makes cost analysis faster
Comentários: Fast and easy to use, even for design engineers or buyers. When a cost-structure is well established, it can provide the estimation for all simple mechanical components. The bulk-costing is powerful if well configured.
Vantagens:
The 3D model engine can load Step parts/assemblies in seconds, recognizing the manufacturing features such as bending/drilling/machining . This makes the cost estimation automatic and much easier, comparing to other similar software on the market.
Desvantagens:
The annual subscription price is not easy to digest, even for large companies. We had to prepare a good business case to get the approval of purchase.
