Given the current global economic trends and the highly competitive markets, it’s important to have a clear insight on the costs and profitability on all relevant level, from business unit to product.

For senior management, it is crucial to have analytical insights on the cost- and value-drivers of a segment, a product, a solution,... Strategic options should be supported by scenario-based models and plans (business and scenario modelling).

But even on middle management and operational level within the organization, insight in the cost compononents and value drivers can unveal lots op opportunities. What’s the full cost of a product from A to Z? What are the actual costs against the standardcost? A driverbased costmodel can help to seek higher efficiency and effectivity. Linking costs of activities to process analysis, hidden losses, … should provide full transparency.

How about the chargeback system or transfer pricing model within the company. These are a few of many challenges many organizations struggle with. Our approach counters suboptimization by taking into account all interdependencies and a healthy portion of pragmatism.
