Operational Impact
The implementation of aPriori has revolutionized Carrier's approach to cost modeling. The use of digital factories has enabled the company to generate highly accurate cost models in just minutes, a process that previously could take weeks or even months. This has not only resulted in significant cost savings but has also paved the way for expanded use of aPriori on many components throughout the organization. Furthermore, the use of aPriori’s simulated manufacturing, based directly on a 3D model of the rotor, has been a game changer for Carrier’s should cost team. The company is also planning to leverage aPriori’s capabilities to generate even more value across the organization, including achieving a near zero RFQ time with key suppliers and automating an organization-wide component library. Additionally, aPriori has been instrumental in supporting Carrier’s 2030 ESG Goals, enabling the company to generate granular data on carbon emissions, a challenging endeavor for Carrier’s complex global supply chain. | |
