Case Study: CNH Industrial achieves $312K in annual savings and faster time-to-market with aPriori

Design-Stage Cost Insight Drives Speed and Savings for CNH

CNH Industrial, maker of agricultural and construction equipment under brands like Case and New Holland, is a global operation with 60,000+ employees, 67 manufacturing plants and 56 R&D centers serving 180 countries. Facing tight, seasonal development windows, CNH needed a way to catch cost and manufacturability issues during the initial design phase to avoid time-consuming redesign loops and keep projects on schedule.

CNH piloted aPriori’s digital manufacturing simulation with a small design team to give designers fast, detailed cost and manufacturability feedback, enable quick “what-if” sourcing comparisons, and train less-experienced engineers. Within months the team identified $312,000 in annual savings (including $143,820 on a shank cultivator and $97,659 from a turnbuckle redesign), accelerated cost-analysis cycles, and scaled the solution across the company—reaching roughly 900 users by late 2022—while standardizing cost modeling and improving supplier negotiations.
