4x Savings with aPriori deployed across the organization
Dana, an automotive manufacturer with $10 Billion in annual revenue, achieved a massive return on investment by implementing aPriori to gain visibility into manufacturing costs. While their initial goal was to save $1 million out of $100 million in business, they successfully realized $4.1 million in savings during their very first year.
Key takeaways from Scott Steward Senior Engineering Manager:
• Scaling Expertise: Rather than limiting cost knowledge to a handful of experts, the organization aims to provide visibility to everyone involved in the process, from designers to sourcing teams.
• Design-Level Impact: By putting cost information directly into the hands of designers via AP Design, the company saw a $2 million program impact on a single bracket.
• Verification in Sourcing: The use of AP Workspace allows purchasing and sourcing teams to compare supplier quotes against a "should cost" baseline to ensure the pricing is logical and fair.
