/24-7PressRelease/ - March 09, 2006 - According to Frank Azzolino, President and CEO of aPriori, "Tangible competitive advantages are derived from thoroughly understanding your company's business costs as well the competitor's products and costs. Understanding function cost trade-offs early in the product development life cycle combined with visibility and ability to affect product cost through manufacturing and delivery drive customer satisfaction and profit opportunities."
aPriori's patent-protected technology combines product design information, production facility capabilities, and cost structure, and customer-specific cost accounting methodology to produce accurate real-time, predictive cost information.
Azzilino argues, "A 1% decreases in COGS (Cost-of-Goods Sold) can equate to 16 - 30% increase in net income in many discrete manufacturing companies."
