Introduction
Value Tracking enables engineering leaders to see how design teams use aPriori to drive cost optimization, profitability improvement, and time-to-market.
Value Tracking provides two dashboards:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Design Value Dashboard | Track cost optimization for designs that are part of a project. See Design Value Dashboard. |
| Value Discovery Dashboard | Identify designs with unrecognized cost savings that are not yet part of a project. See Discovery Dashboard. |
Together, these dashboards answer:
- How is aPriori impacting cost optimization across active projects?
- Where else could aPriori be generating value that hasn’t been captured yet?
Benefits¶
- Spend less time preparing for project reviews.
- Access up-to-date value tracking at any time.
- Identify designs with high potential savings that haven’t been added to a project.
- Easily identify high-value wins, to help replicate results for other projects.
- Identify areas where teams are struggling, to help them have greater success.
New Product Introduction (NPI) Value¶
The Design Value Dashboard clearly displays quantitative data showing your return on investment in New Product Introduction (NPI) programs, to help you quantify and communicate the value that aPriori delivers in these programs.
Existing value
To show value on existing programs, you can use existing purchasing / production data, showing the realized savings already made. For NPI programs, you will not initially have this data, so the Design Value Dashboard fills this gap.
Extract and Display aPriori Data¶
Use aPriori products to impact time, quality, and cost for your projects:
- Improve Profitability: Increase profit margins by reducing unnecessary costs.
- Accelerate Time to Market: Streamline processes and minimize delays to bring products to market faster.
- Enhance Customer Satisfaction: Deliver products at competitive prices, meeting customer expectations.
- Foster Innovation: Create a more cost-effective environment that supports innovation and product development.
While individual project managers can see these impacts on their programs, overall visibility of aPriori value across all projects is more difficult to see.
The Design Value Dashboard gives you this visibility, allowing you to see how well your goals are being achieved, and understand the holistic impact of aPriori on your organization.
Audience¶
| Persona | Goals | Typical Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering VP | Improve efficiency, reduce costs, drive innovation. | “What ROI are we getting from aPriori across NPI projects?” |
| Director of Engineering | Enhance project delivery and foster data-driven execution. | “Where are we seeing measurable gains in cost or throughput?” |
| Engineering Design Manager | Optimize design process and costs, improve design quality. | “Which projects or teams are benefiting most from aPriori?” |
!!! note “The Design Value Dashboard displays data from January 1, 2024 onward”
