Measuring reduction of cost of goods sold
Realising hard savings is only possible if discrete manufacturing companies can satisfy today's demand for a direct and measurable reduction of cost-of-goods sold using effective software.
According to Frank Azzolino, president and CEO of aPriori, "For today's companies to remain agile, they require real-time visibility to cost-critical information for the many important decisions that impact costs prior to product delivery.
This visibility must be immediate, available in a commonly understood language and accessible to all who impact costs in the process across the enterprise." Advanced 'should-cost' analysis incorporates cost estimates for customer's in-house facilities, generic industry and global supplier production plants to enable more efficient supplier selection and fact-based negotiations.
