Cost control, profitability, and competitive advantage. For any business, these are closely related, and manufacturing is no exception. It was recognized years ago that in order to control costs, manufacturers must first know what the costs are and how they are accrued. To aid manufacturers in obtaining this information, KAPES (Knowledge Aided Planning and Estimating System) was introduced.

KAPES is a manufacturing cost planning application and database which enables manufacturers to determine the cost to make, buy, and sell individual parts and assembled products. It offers a unique combination of software tools and online manufacturing knowledge which is not available with other systems. For more information please choose an option from the above menu.
