Case Study: CNH Industrial achieves faster cost reduction and stronger supplier relationships with aPriori

CNH Industrial cuts combine casting costs by $440 per unit with aPriori

CNH Industrial, a global manufacturer of agricultural and construction equipment, faced challenges from fragmented processes and internal silos between engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing. This led to inefficient product development, late cost insights, and difficulties in supplier negotiations. To address this, CNH partnered with aPriori to gain manufacturing intelligence and break down these barriers to improve collaboration and control costs.

By implementing aPriori's manufacturing cost management platform, CNH integrated physics-based costing insights early into its design process. This allowed for proactive identification of manufacturability issues and provided data-driven should-cost models for supplier negotiations. The solution preserved key supplier relationships while driving significant savings, such as a $440 per unit cost reduction on a component, leading to over one million dollars in savings for that program alone. aPriori enabled CNH to accelerate development cycles and achieve faster, more sustainable results.
