SAVES 40%
ON SUPPLIER
COSTS, WITH
APRIORI.
With 9 different global
suppliers providing 900,000
small components at a
recurring cost of £9m, global
transportation equipment
manufacturer, Alstom,
needed to investigate the
opportunities for improving
effi ciency and reducing
cost in their production
processes. Waiting for
accurate external supplier
quotes is not always feasible
on a tight production
schedule, with customers
and suppliers alike
struggling to fi nd the time
to cost small components
more realistically. But it all
adds up.

Manufacturing Thread.
aPriori helps teams to work faster, smarter, and,
most importantly, together, by bringing product
design closer to the production line, enabling
collaboration between engineering, sourcing,
suppliers and cost engineering teams. This is made
possible by leveraging the digital twin to create a
Digital Manufacturing Thread, connecting product
design to production, to help companies accelerate
time to market and reduce product costs.
The future is a Digital Factory.
So how does it work? By integrating with your
existing CAD / PLM environment, aPriori simulates
real-life manufacturing capabilities as Digital
Factories, providing accurate insights to leverage the
existing digital twin, to help you collaborate effi ciently
right across the product development process.
Working with real data in real time enables faster,
more accurate and informed design decisions. This
in turn increases effi ciency and prevents expensive
changes further down the line. Higher value
