Faster, More Profitable Product Development: How Emerson uses aPriori to accelerate NPI and margin
How do you innovate boldly without losing control of cost and margins?
In this video, leaders at Emerson share how early cost visibility transformed their new product introduction (NPI) process. By bringing high-confidence cost estimation into concept development, teams were able to evaluate tradeoffs earlier, take more calculated design risks, and move faster—without waiting for late-stage supplier quotes.
Those same cost insights extend beyond NPI. With aPriori, Emerson teams are sharpening value engineering efforts, focusing sourcing activity where it matters most, and prioritizing real margin opportunities instead of blanket eSourcing.
The result: faster time to market, more innovative designs, and a repeatable way to improve profitability across engineering, value engineering, and supply chain teams.
