Benefits of ABC Costings in Manufacturing, Production, Food, Beberages, Pharma, Chemical

    • Accurate costing of activities or processes, identifying the cost detail of resources assigned to each activity.
    • Accurate costing of products or services defined in Cost Objects, identifying the cost detail of activities assigned to each cost object. We suggest establishing only one type of cost object. See Notes and Suggestions below.
    • You will identify the most expensive activities and opportunities to reduce costs.
    • You will determine the Real Profitability that shows: which products or services generate profits and which generate losses.
    • With this information you will be able to establish a pricing strategy by product, and with it, the expected income.
    • If you select a package with training, we will show you how to make the most of the templates and how to create a database to have a cost history to see trends, seasonality, among others.

With additional advanced analysis, which you can purchase in another package:

    • You will determine the optimal resources by activity, process, service or client.
    • You will identify opportunities to increase the efficiency of your processes.
    • You will carry out differentiated pricing strategies by product or service, by channel, client or sales region.
    • You will have the rates that will allow you to establish costs and budgets either total or by hour of operation.

Important notes and suggestions:

The ABC costing templates for Services Industries have a capacity for 240 resource accounts, 100 activities (which can be classified as Primary or Support), 250 cost objects, 38 drivers per module. Users can add attributes or tags according to the analysis needs.

We suggest setting up only one cost object “Dimension” in the Toolkit, examples: 1) Products or Services, 2) Customers, 3) Distribution Channels, 4) Branches 5) Sales Regions. This is because for a small model in Excel it is complicated to define drivers and assignments when there are several mixed dimensions.

For proper operation of the Toolkit, the Excel Costing Templates have locked cells and sheets that help preserve the structure of the file.

In the training we provide ideas and options for using the Toolkit for multiple cost object dimensions.
