Making the value of technology clear
Can AI play a role in helping design engineers make better engineering decisions? If so, how? Design engineers face growing pressure to make better decisions faster, but critical product cost and manufacturability information is not always available when they need it. Tech-Clarity’s new survey of 216 design and engineering professionals finds that engineers proceed without…
How can better information, automation, and AI improve design engineering decisions? Design engineers face growing pressure to bring products to market faster, control costs, improve quality, and manage increasing product complexity. Yet important information that impacts decisions may be difficult to obtain, arri ve too late, or require time-consuming manual work. At the same time,…
We recently had the opportunity to reconnect with aPriori Technologies, a company we’ve known for years. It has been exciting to watch their solution evolve from a product cost management tool into a comprehensive digital manufacturing intelligence platform. Today, their platform enables improved decision-making across sales, design engineering, sourcing, sustainability, and manufacturing. Who They Are…
Product Cost Management – A Knowledge Based Approach to Optimizing Product Cost explains how manufacturers can design products for optimal cost in order to improve profitability. The research shares interviews with three industrial manufacturers on the way they work with their supply chains to reduce cost using an analytical, fact-based methodology to drive out unnecessary…
I had an opportunity to share ideas and experience about product cost management and product profitability with Eric Hiller. Eric responded to my post on PLM and Product Cost Management (PCM) and we have shared some great dialogue following that. Eric has some great experience in this area and I asked him if he would…
