Cost & Profitability Perspective

Cost & profitability information enables strategic decisions about pricing, product mix, distribution channels, customer profitability, shared services pricing, and outsourcing.  To determine cost, we begin with an organization’s Resources (e.g., People, Facilities, Equipment, Materials, etc…).  Next we determine what Resources are required to perform Activities and how these Resources are consumed.   Next we determine what Activities are required to produce or support Cost Objects (e.g. Products, Services, Customer Segments, Distribution Channels, etc…) and how these Activities are consumed.  Next we combine these costs with revenue at a more granular level to help illuminate profitability.

Process Perspective

Process information enables deeper analysis into how well the organization is performing.  We identify Cost Drivers and Performance Metrics to enable intelligent decisions about targeting process improvements, streamlining workflow, eliminating rework, and adopting best practices.
