Case Study: CNH Industrial scales manufacturing cost intelligence with aPriori

CNH Industrial scales manufacturing cost analysis for 100+ engineers with aPriori

CNH Industrial faced the challenge of scaling the expertise of its limited cost engineers and senior specialists to support a large number of designers and commodity managers. The growing experience gap, compounded by industry retirements, meant these experts could not personally review every design or support every negotiation, creating a bottleneck and hindering the effectiveness of less-experienced team members. This is where the vendor aPriori's manufacturing cost insight platform was utilized.

The solution implemented by aPriori involved leveraging automation and AI. CNH Industrial automated cost analysis through PLM-triggered workflows, generating initial estimates instantly. This freed experts to focus on refining digital factories and assumptions, while AI-powered tools like aiSource provided clear, understandable insights to end-users, eliminating the need for lengthy explanatory meetings. As a result, aPriori enabled faster estimates, supported more effective supplier negotiations, and empowered junior staff to make better-informed decisions without direct expert intervention.
