Join aPriori and special guest AGCO Corporation on Tuesday, April 8,
2008 at 2 PM ET for a one-hour webinar exclusively for Discrete
Manufacturing & Product Companies and learn how real-time, precise
product cost assessments are helping leading companies drive costs out
of their product before production.
David Disberger, Director of Engineering at AGCO Corporation, will
discuss how AGCO is using aPriori’s Enterprise
Cost Management platform to improve the quality and timeliness of its
product cost numbers. “With better product
cost information, AGCO employees are making better trade-off decisions
that route costs out of our products much earlier in the development
process,” said Disberger.
Session attendees will learn how to:
Gain real-time visibility to product cost information from initial
design through production launch
Implement design-to-cost strategies earlier in the development process
Reduce direct material spend to improve financial results

The aPriori Enterprise Cost Management Platform is the first software
solution to provide discrete manufacturers and product companies with real-time,
predictive and precise product cost assessments throughout the
entire development and production process. aPriori’s
revolutionary cost management capabilities empower organizations to
identify quantifiable savings in material, tooling, labor and overhead
while evaluating alternative designs, processes and sources. By
generating cost assessments early in the product development process,
aPriori customers drive significant costs out of their products prior to
production, reducing cost of goods sold (COGS) by whole percentage
points and improving the overall financial results of the company.
Through an innovative, 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. aPriori
provides true cost visibility to everyone in the organization that
impacts cost -- designers, manufacturing engineers and planners,
purchasing and sourcing professionals, cost managers, program management
and executives.
