Manufacturing challenges
What do we mean by “Product Cost”
The three costs: Product, Process, Simulation
The 3 Edicts of Modern Product Costing
Demo examples of Modern Product Costing
Webinar Agenda
POLL: WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT COSTING LEVEL?
1. Beginner – I’ve never heard of a cost sheet
2. Intermediate – I know some costing basics, but there’s still lots to learn
3. Advanced – I’ve spent time building and maintaining cost models
TODAY’S MANUFACTURING ORGANIZATIONS FACE SIGNIFIGANT CHALLENGES
FLUCTUATING RAW
MATERIAL COSTSKeep up with fast pace of changing material prices
ADAPTING TO CHANGES
IN MARKET DEMANDPressure to quickly evaluate and control costs to protect margins
OPERATING GLOBAL
SUPPLY CHAINSComplexities handling local
markets, conditions, and currencies
DEALING WITH
REGULATORY ISSUESDiverse set of laws, tariffs, taxes
and duties across locales
SHIFTING FROM COMMODITY
TO VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTSAdjust business strategies to
remain competitive
MANAGING CONSOLIDATIONS
& ACQUISITIONSChanges across the company -people, systems, and strategies
WHAT DO THESE CHALLENGES HAVE IN COMMON?
EACH CHALLENGE DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE COSTTO MANUFACTURE AND SELL PRODUCTS.
The products you make and how best to make them
PRODUCT COSTS AFFECT FOUR KEY DECISIONS FOR MANUFACTURERS
The prices you charge to grow and protect your margins
The strategies you execute based on expected future performance
The tactics you implement to improve processes, identify root causes and reduce waste

AND WHEN WE SAY PRODUCT COSTING,WE DON’T MEAN “STANDARD PRODUCT COST”.
Standard Costs
Companies need the ability to re-roll
any product, post-production, or total
delivered cost to provide answers based
on current business conditions.
POLL: WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES YOU’RE FACING WITH YOUR CURRENT PRODUCT COSTING PROCESS
1. Calculating cost answers
2. Trusting the results
3. Identifying trends
4. Simulating changes in market or business conditions
Can you answer YES to each question?
Can your costing methods and process adjust to changing market or business conditions?
Can you maintain and compare costs sets to minimize risk and expose opportunities?
Can you repeatably and reliably connect data between disparate systems (ERP, Shop-Floor/MES, BI, etc.)?
Are you able to quickly and confidently provide relevant cost data to different audiences in your organization?
IS YOUR PRODUCT COST PROCESS IS MODERN?
Do you know the unique cost of each product you manufacture?
MODERN FINANCE TEAMS FOCUS ON CREATING COST TRANSPARENCY IN THREE AREAS
Analyze possible costs
from changing market or
business conditions.
SCENARIO COST
Trace and accumulate
direct costs and allocate
indirect costs of the
manufacturing process.
PROCESS COST
Determine the direct
labor, direct materials,
and manufacturing
overhead consumed.
PRODUCT COST
"
Product Costs
Account for yield loss and scrap credits
Manage detailed BOMs and recipes
Calculate line or route specific costs
Drive volume specific costs
Create meaningful blended costs
Process Costs
Allocate indirect spending with appropriate drivers
Collect direct spending
Calculate cost/work center rates
Assign process rates to products
Simulation Costs
Determine volume and mix specific cost plans
Analyze effects of material and resource cost changes
Calculate costs of new products or customer quotes
POLL: WHAT IS THE PRIMARY ROLE FOR COST INFORMATION IN YOUR ORGANIZATION?
1. Provide visibility for cost management initiatives
2. Drive product/service cost reduction
3. Support pricing and contract negotiations
4. Monitor operational performance
5. Support financial reporting
WHAT IS MODERN PRODUCT COSTING
The ability to quickly and accurately answer the question “what’s the cost of…” to improve your company’s ability to make smarter, informed decisions around
the tactics and strategies relevant to your business.
Rules DataTools
Three Edicts of Modern Product Costing
RULES: MODELS ARE MORE THAN JUST MATH
To deliver value through insights, product cost models should adhere to four fundamental tenants.
Support (your) real world situations
Include measurable and meaningful KPIs
Apply consistent logic and assumptions
Deliver timely results
