Description
Organizations that use primitive costing methods make predictable mistakes, allocating too much cost to easy, high-volume "gravy" products and too little cost to difficult, low-volume "dog" jobs, putting an organization with inferior information at a significant competitive disadvantage. The secret to being the “smart competitor” is learning how to deal with overhead.
This session will show you how to assign 16 key overhead categories. Whether you work in a wholesale, retail, healthcare, service or manufacturing business, you will find this session invaluable. Get your cost right, and you will be able to give the "dogs" to your competitors and keep the "gravy" for yourself.
