How products are designed will play a critical role in determining downstream manufacturing costs and how quickly companies can reroute supply chain operations when needed.
Brands that can design new products with a readily available and interchangeable bill of materials (BOM), and optimize manufacturing and assembly, will be well-positioned to address future supply chain disruptions quickly and decisively.
aPriori’s digital manufacturing software allows design engineers and sourcing teams to work with granular cost and manufacturability insights while a design is still in development. By directly analyzing a CAD model or digital twin by simulating production in a fully configurable digital factory, aPriori enables design engineers to:
- Gain early manufacturability insight during design to mitigate manufacturing surprises
- Design for procurement efficiency
- Access on-demand cost and manufacturing insight while product is in design
- Involve teams like cost engineering, sourcing, and suppliers earlier in the process
- Easily identify and mitigate cost outliers and DFM risks
