Case Study: LiuGong achieves 40% lower production costs with aPriori

LiuGong’s aPriori Should Cost Implementation Lowers Production Costs by 40 Percent

LiuGong, a construction machinery manufacturer, faced a challenge with inaccurate design-stage cost estimates that led to over-budget launches and delays. To improve profitability and competitiveness, LiuGong adopted aPriori’s should cost capabilities, specifically using the aP Pro product, to better control and forecast production expenses.

With aPriori, LiuGong integrated cost analysis earlier in the design process, enabling faster and more accurate cost comparisons and design adjustments before launch. The result was a 40% reduction in production costs, along with shorter development cycles, fewer costly engineering change orders, and improved pricing decisions.
