Costing Portfolio Management™ (CPM)
Costing Portfolio Management™ (CPM) is a framework of tools and techniques that allow an organization to better understand the relationship between its existing cost infrastructure and the products / services that drive it
CPM™ answers critical questions including:
- How is it that my bottom line has not improved despite the fact that I've stopped selling unprofitable products?
- How do I reduce cost and improve profitability, but not compromise on service quality (and end up losing my best customers?)
- How do I know the true contribution margin of my products and services?
- What is the real relationship between volume, my fixed cost base and the bottom line?
- How do I develop a global costing strategy that capitalizes on efficiencies and avoids inconsistencies across regions and countries?
- How do I calculate my true break-even point?
- How do I implement a systematic method for:
- Costing new products and services?
- Reacting to changes in the cost of raw materials?
