Organizations that use primitive costing methods make predictable mistakes. They allocate too much cost to easy, high-volume “gravy” products and too little cost to difficult, low-volume “dog” products. This puts the organization with inferior information at a significant disadvantage against a competitor who has a better cost model. The secret to having a great cost model is learning how to deal with overhead.

This webinar will show you how to assign 16 key categories of overhead. Whether you work in a wholesale, retail, health care, service or manufacturing business. This session will give you important insights into how to handle overhead. If you get your costing right, you will be able to give the “dogs” to your competitors and keep the “gravy” for yourself.
