Case Study: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems achieves $100M in expected lifetime savings with aPriori

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems unlocks over $100M in savings with aPriori

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, a defense contractor, faced challenges in transitioning a program from low-rate production to full-scale manufacturing. The team had limited in-house manufacturing expertise and was under strict time constraints to identify cost savings and reduce cycle times. They turned to aPriori's manufacturing insights platform to address these issues.

The solution involved using aPriori to simulate the manufacturing of high-risk machined components and analyze alternative processes. This identified areas where design specifications were driving costs. As a result, aPriori helped uncover manufacturing alternatives that are expected to yield over $100 million in program lifetime savings across five years, providing significant design for manufacturability insight.
