AGCO Corp. Selects aPriori Product Cost Management Platform

By DE Editors

aPriori (Concord, MA) announced that AGCO Corporation (Duluth, GA) has selected the aPriori Enterprise Cost Management Platform to support its product cost reduction initiatives. Using aPriori, AGCO will increase its ability to drive costs out of its products before production through real-time product cost assessments that are generated automatically throughout the design and manufacturing planning processes.

The software provides discrete manufacturers and product companies with real-time, predictive, and precise product cost assessments throughout the entire development and production process. aPriori's cost management capabilities enable organizations to identify quantifiable savings in material, tooling, labor, and overhead while evaluating alternative designs, processes, and sources.

Through a patented understanding of how product design, materials, and manufacturing processes translate into product costs, aPriori replaces traditional, inefficient cost-estimation techniques with precise cost assessments that update in real-time as parameters change.
