Approach

  • Identification of medium to long-term objectives.
  • Assessment of the AS-IS situation and collection of documentation (analysis, data mining, balance sheets, distinct base, current pricing model).
  • Analysis of the management accounts plan for cost certification and inventory of cost elements.
  • Identification of productive (and auxiliary) Cost Centers (CdCs).
  • Allocation of direct and indirect costs to each productive CdC, and reassignment of auxiliary CdC costs.
  • Determination of the industrial hourly cost for each production department, based on machine or site.
  • Creation of a preventive job order pricing model, based on the calculated hourly rates.
  • Continuous monitoring and refinement of parameters for achieving a consistently accurate measurement.
