Case Study: Jabil achieves streamlined target costing and better design-manufacturing collaboration with aPriori

How to Utilize Manufacturing Simulation for Better Target Costing

Jabil, a manufacturing services company, needed a better way to streamline target costing and improve communication between design and manufacturing teams. The challenge was to collaborate more effectively on product costs while meeting aggressive cost targets, and Jabil turned to aPriori’s aP Pro target costing simulation software to help solve it.

Using aPriori, Jabil created a shared platform for designers and manufacturers to compare design alternatives and make cost decisions earlier in development. The result was faster design iterations, better collaboration, and major savings, with reported benefits including reducing design iteration time from 40 hours to a few minutes, lowering product costs by 10–30%, and increasing win rate by 50%.
