aPriori True Cost Convergence

According to Frank Azzolino, president of aPriori Technologies, “As important cost impacting decisions are made throughout the product development and delivery process, cost assessments must converge on the ‘true cost’ of the product. This means constantly available cost information with continuously improving cost accuracy and smooth convergence to true cost. Traditional processes offer periodic cost updates resulting in the late, and often unexpected, realization of missed cost targets.”  aPriori’s “True Cost Convergence™” allows cost targets to be achieved at product launch resulting in faster time to profit.
